How is a hypertrophic scar treated?
Disease description:
The scar from my cesarean delivery has developed into a hypertrophic scar, which is noticeably raised. I’ve been told that such scars typically do not fade on their own. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment options for hypertrophic (raised) scars?

Hello, hypertrophic scars can be treated with medications or laser therapy. However, the specific treatment approach should be determined by your physician based on your individual condition. We recommend seeking evaluation and treatment at a reputable hospital for scar management. Additionally, increase your intake of foods rich in vitamins, and ensure proper wound care to optimize treatment outcomes. Avoid consuming spicy foods such as chili peppers and garlic. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
