Fresh red scars.
I had ringworm on my upper thighs. Applied dermiford. Got healed. But 7-8 days later fresh red scars appeared b/w the joints of thighs and pubic area. My doctor says the scars wont go away in my lifetime and the pain would also only reduce and not completely fade away. Prescribed me vaniza and contractubex creams and omega pills. Are there any other medicines to heal it permanently? Btw scars dont itch at all but they cause irritation while walking or touching. Is it true tht pain wud persist??

Condition you got can be striae rubra or stretch marks , achieving normal skin back won't be possible but it will settle down with the prescribed medications and creams , you can opt for co 2 laser later to minimise appearance . avoid using steroid containing creams to avoid such side effects in future.
