Hypertrophic scars treatment is not always the easiest thing to find, at least not to the degree that people are hoping that they can improve the distinctive scars.  Hypertrophic scars are known for being raised above the skin, often in conjunction with redness and a “lumpy” look.  These scars can come from burns, injuries, or even acne, though keloid scars are more commonly caused by acne.  How do you treat these scars to minimize their appearance over time?  Read on to find some ways that you can get help with doing just that.

A Challenge To Get Rid Of

Hypertrophic scars do provide a certain number of challenges that make treating them successfully a bit of a problem.  For instance, these scars tend to be reoccurring, which would obviously present a problem when trying to treat them in the long term.  A lot of hypertrophic scars treatment methods may work at first, only to have the scars come back again, anyway!  Because of this kind of tendency, these scars are known as the second worst types of scars to be stuck with, right behind keloid scars.

Treatment Options

Along with acne and other normal problems, hypertrophic scars can be caused by insect bites, burns, scratches or injections.  They can often be treated through steroid injections on a monthly basis, or even through the application of special gels that most dermatologists would be able to prescribe to you.

If you can see that a scar is forming, you can often treat it through the use of gel sheets.  For more drastic methods of hypertrophic scars treatment, you can also opt for laser surgeries, which will often have very dramatic results, but won’t necessarily keep recurring scars from coming back in the future.

For best results, you will really want to consult with your dermatologist or a trusted doctor to find out what they would recommend.  They may be able to give you better advice based upon a knowledge of your skin type and the specific type of scars you are dealing with.

As with many medical issues, successful hypertrophic scars treatment requires a plan that is specifically suited for your symptoms and problems, which means that consulting with a professional is a great first step.  If you are one of the many that wants to reduce the appearance of troubling hypertrophic scars, it is great to know that there are treatment methods available.
