How to restore white scars to skin tone
Disease description:
More than a year ago, I underwent surgery on my arm. After the wound healed, a white scar remained at the suture site. Recently, I’ve noticed some scar hypertrophy and would like to ask: How can this white scar be treated to restore it to normal skin color?

Hello, scar development occurs in several distinct phases, during which scars exhibit varying colors and appearances. White scars are often caused by bacterial infection of the wound site. To restore white scars to a more natural skin tone, topical scar treatment products may be applied. Additionally, internal regulation is important—consuming light, mild foods rich in vitamin C can also support scar recovery. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
