What Causes Healing Of Skin Trauma As Dark Circle With Lighter Inset?
Question: for the past 6 years or so, any skin trauma heals as either a dark circle with a lighter inset that is flat, or a raised mark of the same coloring. Cause for concerns? dome are what started out as pimple like lesions that were filled with white pus. The one on my hand was a venipuncture site.
Brief Answer:
Hypertrophic scar formation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,Madam,
I have carefully read your query and understand your concern.
You seem to have hypertrophic scars from the process of secondary healing.
This involves excessive collagen formation from the process of healing.
This seems to be an inherent process in some people.
Drugs like topical corticosteroids like Betamethasone can help to reduce the amount of scar tissue.
Topical antibiotics like neomycin or povidone iodine can help to prevent super added bacterial infection and pus formation.
Note :These drugs should be taken only under strict medical supervision.
i hope this info is helpful to you
Post any queries,if any
Thank you
