Pigment Problem Scar

These scars are usually flat but a different colour to the surrounding skin, which can make them stand out as browner or whiter.

These scars are usually flat but a different colour to the surrounding skin, which can make them stand out as browner or whiter.
They are often caused by trauma or burns which took a while to heal, and are different in their cause and treatment to Vitiligo (see below).
They can occur anywhere on the body but are more common in skin that is usually exposed to the sun e.g. faces, arms, legs.

Scars like these which have scarred darker in pigment can respond well to laser treatment to lighten and blend the darker colour to more closely resemble the surrounding skin.
Scars like these which have scarred lighter in pigment can respond well to surgical scar revision, with a treatment of spray-on-skin (ReCell) to put some of your own pigment cells back into the lighter areas to try to make more pigment.
Scars like these often benefit from scar therapy in addition to surgery and/or laser to ensure the new scar makes the closest match of pigment possible and reduces the risk of it getting thick or red.
