Treat Scars

There are many different Types of scarring and these fall into the following general categories:Flat and pale - These, the most common scars, may start red or raised but naturally fade over time. Cica-Care* can help speed up this process. Sunken - Most commonly caused by acne or chicken pox, and although sunken some acne can remain red and raised. Stretched - Caused when the skin is stretched around a healing wound. Stretch marks caused during pregnancy are similar. Red, dark or raised - These are known by doctors and nurses as hypertrophic or keloid scars and can be treated with Cica-Care. Treatment is possible but can be unsuccessful, especially in keloid types of scars. Constant compression after surgical excision has shown to improve the results. An injection of a steroid has seemed to have one of the best results.

A hypertrophic scar occurs when the scar remains thicker for an extended period of time.
