The most permanent remedy for sunken scars is surgery. It is done at the doctor’s clinic and local anesthetics are used. The surgeon will remove the scar fill the area below it with skin and place the scar back on top leveling the surface. The doctor cannot physically remove the scar completely; he will make it smaller and will make it rise to the level of the surrounding skin. With time it will fade away or become unnoticeable.
In the case of raised scars the first treatment undertaken is direct injections of corticosteroids directly into the raised scar. This will soften and flatten the scar. It will allow raised scars to feel smoother and less noticeable. Injections are given with certain regularity and this depends on the type and size of the scar. If response to the corticosteroids is good and the scar changes noticeably treatment will continue. If after three or four weeks of treatment the scar seizes to respond then surgery will probably be necessary.
Several types of surgery are also available and they depend on the type and size of the raised scar. Many of these will return time after the surgery so some kind of treatment must be continued even after the surgery. In the same manner as the sunken scars, the raised scars will not go away completely, they will be reduced and leveled but they will leave a mark behind.
The spot lesions are better left alone, they will vanish with time. Attempting to remove them ahead of time may cause a permanent spot to form.
