CONTRACTUBEX

    Contractubex is a scar gel which is prescribed to patients who have scarring on their skin. By effectively reducing the scars from within, Contractubex induces the skin healing process. The gel treats the redness or any itching that is often experienced with scars. It also inhibits scar tissue formation. Though adverse reactions are not generally associated with this gel, patients should consult doctors in case of allergic reactions.

She should apply contractubex on the spots (only if they have completely healed, and are just a mark now)
it should be applied regularly.
Some marks will go automatically few will still remain.

Thirteen years is a long time.
You may try applying a cream named contractubex but it is is less likely to help with such an old mark.
Still use it for 8 weeks,
else, you may go for laser scar removal.

Workout and making the area firm will help.
Apply contractubex everyday for 8 months to lighten them.
You may go for a laser treatment.
They can be lightened, they cannot be completely gone.

Normally all these marks are due to healing of blisters of chicken pox. Being superficial. They mostly fade out over a period of few months to years. Only few may remain. So you can wait and see after a year how many remain. You may apply contractubex cream thrice daily and eukroma sg once in the night over scars. You may see the scar marks getting lighter in a few months. Lastlt I shall suggest you also see a skin specialist before you try my prescription. As applying drugs over long time witho...more

As a Dermatologist- I would suggest. .Start using Contractubex ointment daily for 1 month. U can try for repeat injections too. But they are painful. Use Amylac cream in day. DONT EVER go for Surgery. It will make your keloid worse. Come for an urgent consultation to me or nearest dermatologist.

Scars can be lightened by using contractubex cream.
Or, you can apply coconut oil regularly.
It depends on the type of scar and its depth whether it will be removed or lightened or not.
Sometimes, scars cannot be removed even with treatments like laser scar removal.
If you really want yo get rid of them, try applying the mentioned cream regularly for atleast 8 weeks.

If they have developed recently, apply contractubex cream and moisturise the area, avoid having that expression on the face when the lines look deep.
You may go for clinical trearment.
