There are various methods for repairing scars caused by mosquito bites, which can be selected according to the severity of the scar and individual constitution. Minor scars may fade naturally over time and require no special treatment. If the scar is noticeable, the following options may be considered: 1. **Medication treatment**: Topical medications such as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream or asiaticoside cream may help reduce scar discoloration and improve texture. 2. **Physical therapy**: Fractional laser treatment can target depressed scars and promote skin regeneration and repair. 3. **Surgical treatment**: For individuals with keloid-prone skin or large scars, surgical options such as scar excision and suturing, or dermabrasion may be considered. During the healing process, maintain skin cleanliness, avoid scratching or irritating the scarred area, and apply sun protection to prevent pigmentation. If you have any concerns, please consult a relevant medical professional.
