your situation is exactly like mine - i was hoping to read through your comment and find a miracle cure for my arm scar
guess i will try some laser treatments - my arm hurts ALL the time - i am having injections right now - they are very painful as well - honestly i would rather have my freaking tattoo back, you?
anyway - let me know if you find a miracle cure - and i will post here if i do as well
Scars and scar revisions are one of the most difficult problems to handle. Among the factors that determine scar formation are the scar location, the genetic healing capabilities of the individual with the scar, the nature of the original injury, the orientation of the scar, and the age of the scar. Scars located on the arm are notoriously poor for healing. Your scar may take over one year or more for full maturation. Lasers can be used to reduce the redness, but just time will do the same. Since your scar is not raised, there is little further I would recommend, but patience. With time, the scar will improve, but not disappear. the ultimate outcome will likely be determine by your genetic predisposition to scar formation and healing.
