There’s limited medical evidence supporting the idea that potatoes can help with scars. But one 2017 study found that potato peel may help heal minor burns.

A long-term course of corticosteroid injections into the scar may help flatten and soften the appearance of keloid or hypertrophic scars. [55] Silicone scar sheets work by creating a protective barrier over the scar. This barrier helps to maintain the skin’s moisture, which in turn creates an optimal environment for the healing process. By maintaining a hydrated environment, the sheets help to normalize collagen production, reducing the risk of excessive scar tissue formation. Impact on Collagen Production Atrophy: Skin that is paper-thin, transparent, and wrinkled. It is usually due to the use of a topical medicine like steroids.Mee, Donna; Wong, Brian (1 October 2012).

What everyone should know about the shingles vaccine (Shingrix). Scars form differently based on the location of the injury on the body and the age of the person who was injured.

This is composed of the same main protein (collagen) as normal skin, but with differences in details of composition. Most crucially, the protein fibres in normal tissue have a random (basketweave) appearance, while those in scar tissue have pronounced alignment in a single direction. An older 1995 study that looked specifically at postsurgical wound healing noted significant improvement when baking soda was applied. This was observed at day 7 and more so at day 14.
