The treatment can vary depending on type of scar, and the treating dermatologist. Broadly the following schedule is followed :
- Ice-pick scars : Ice-pick scars are slim, pointed scars that make the skin appear it has been punctured with an icepick. They are usually narrower than 2 mm and extend into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer . Ice-pick scars are usually treated with TCA CROSS technique. In this , trichloracetic acid is applied to the floor of the scar , resulting in gradual filling up of the depth.
