| Ways to minimize the appearance of scars
| | For some people, the presence of a scar is life altering; for others, it is merely a nuisance. You may have been scarred in any number of ways. Childhood often confers upon us the marks of mishaps at the playground, running and falling or playing sports. You may carry into adulthood the scars of severe acne. Surgical procedures may have left you with lines and scars that make you feel self-conscious. If you have a scar that makes you feel uncomfortable, self-conscious, makes you avoid certain types of clothing, or worse, avoid social situations, take heart. Dermatologists offer a wide range of procedures to help minimize the appearance of scars. |
