What is the best treatment for hypopigmented scars in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

Sounds like you had a nasty accident and I’m glad that you’ve recovered well from it (apart from the scar).

Hypopigmentation is difficult to treat and options include:

  • medical tattooing
  • phototherapy
  • scar revision
  • laser

Outcomes are variable and I would not get my hopes up too high.

The raised portion is definitely more treatable with injectable steroids, lasers and silicone sheets/gel as you have rightly pointed out.

Nonetheless, it would be best to get it examined by a medical professional so that an appropriate treatment plan can be tailored for you.

All the best!
