Burns can be disfiguring, causing noticeable pigmentary changes and scarring, which can be psychologically distressing. Scarring from burns can be notoriously difficult to treat, often requiring invasive, painful treatments. Here, we document the first reported case of successful improvement of a hypopigmented scar from a burn treated with topical bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution alone. We are hopeful that this will give a noninvasive option for patients who are looking to improve hypopigmented scars.
烧伤可能会导致毁容,引起明显的色素变化和瘢痕形成,这可能会造成心理困扰。烧伤后的瘢痕治疗 notoriously 困难,通常需要侵入性的、痛苦的治疗方法。在此,我们记录了首例单独使用 0.03% topical 比马前列素眼药水成功改善烧伤后色素减退性瘢痕的病例报告。我们希望这将为希望改善色素减退性瘢痕的患者提供一种非侵入性选择。
