[Dr. Ross]

Hello.
First of all, your attending physician and you should watch or keep up development of cicatrixes. At children not a rarity of development of hypertrophic cicatrixes. If they arise, it is necessary to spend prophylaxis and treatment. It is not necessary to undertake active influences till the moment of their full atrophy. This process can sometimes borrow or occupy year and more.
To clean or remove cicatrixes it is impossible. It is possible to try to make their less appreciable. At normal development eventually their kind improves.
The later you will start to try to influence cicatrix, the better.
Methods traditional: dermabrasion, chemical pillingi, a laser rejuvenascence of a skin.
Yours faithfully, Dr. Ross.
