.Pink and raised scars are pretty common... and people tend not to realise that there is something that can be done about them! Both these treatments can be carried out at home once your physiotherapist has explained how to implement them.
The NICE guidelines recognised silicone as a good treatment option for hypertrophic scars. Dressings are available on prescription on can be purchased online. My favourite silicone option is Kelo-cote scar gel. There are other in clinic interventions such as laser treatment, but massage and silicone is a great place to start.
