Would Silicon Sheets Help To Build The Missing Skin Up Again?
I used some TCA wart temoval gel on my chin to remove what seemed to be a wart. Unfortunately it has left a round crater like scar/ indent in my skin. Can you advise any treatment to build the missing skin up again? Would silicon sheets help? Many thanks for your help in advance.
Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic. From your history and description, I understand that you are having a depressed scar on your chin. Silicone sheet is one of the modalities of treatment and it could help to a certain extent. If the scar is very deep, it may not help. Deeper scars require scar revision procedures to elevate them to the skin surface. The options available include subcision procedure, fractional lasers and microneedling/ dermaroller treatments. Please consult a dermatologist who could guide you after considering parameters like the size, shape, depth and age of the scar. The earlier you do scar revision procedure, the better will be the results. Hope this helps you. Take care.
