Last week, I got injured in an road accident. My face has got some scratches. I have been Using Mupirocin Ointment I.P. (T-bact) on those scratches that has resulted in development of a firm black layer that is about to get detached .i can feel that wound is almost healed. But Now that particular area of my face is discolored means Red in color. So my question is that, what do we call it, Is it scar. How long will it take there to be normal skin? What shall I use over there? Shall I use Mederma?

Hello. Scars these days have got many ways of treatment. Varies from person to person, depending upon the skin type, scar maturity, length, position and width. The treatment might vary from few lightening creams, compression, silicon treatment, superficial dermabrasion, dermarolling, fat grafting to the scar revision surgeries. Personal examination or atleast the complete details of the scar might help in suggesting the suitable treatment. You can consult me online with the pictures as well. Thank you.
