Answer

Will steroid injections flatten thick skin?

Hi,

I have a scar on my forehead which has healed well, but has 'thickened' tissue underneath it which has caused a raised bump. It now looks like I have a permanent bump on my head due to the lump.

I have been to see a plastic surgeon, and he said they cannot remove the lump, as there is nothing to remove - only thickened skin which is causing the raise.

I have been referred for steroid injections - will this shrink the thickened skin under the scar permantently? What is the success rate?

Is there any other treatment I can try to reduce the thickened skin? I have tried all oils/ silicone gels/ plasters etc.

Thanks

Procedure

Laser scar removal
If you have had a severe or even superficial injury, the healing process may have left a scar. Its appearance depends not only on the type and extent of the wound but also on the individual's disposition to form scars. Scars are removed for not only cosmetic reasons but also due to possible discomfort caused by the scar's location.
