Suitable for acne, smallpox, chickenpox, herpes zoster, eczema, trauma, burns or superficial scars left after surgery. If necessary, scar treatment can be performed at the same time as surgical resection, and the effect is better than simple grinding.

Prices range from 200 to 500 yuan. The other is a Chinese medicine preparation. At present, the effective product is asiaticoside, which can promote wound healing and can be used to treat scars and scleroderma. The price is 40 ~ 50 yuan.
Second, use silicone scar paste.

It also plays the role of physical oppression, eliminating the operation of regular application, but some people will feel uncomfortable if they persist for a long time, especially in summer. It should be noted that the attachment range of such products is larger than that of scars, including normal skin around scars.

The elastic clothing worn for a long time after ham burns plays a role in preventing excessive scar proliferation and physical compression, but it covers a wider area and compresses more evenly, and is suitable for large-area scars. For scars on limbs, only elastic sleeves can be worn, and it is recommended to tailor them for better effect.
