What are ways to treat flea bite scars?

Doctor's Answer

The scars that you have are pigmented scars due to inflammation and injury to the skin caused by the flea bites.

Treatment will be a combination of:

  • lightening creams and
  • pigment lasers.

Untreated, these scars will eventually fade. However, these scars can take a long time to do so. It may take up to several months or even, more than a year.

Medical treatments (as mentioned above) are aimed to quicken this fading process. Thus, improvement can be seen as quickly as within a month. There are many types of pigment lasers available. Therefore, you should always consult a doctor.
