Talk to Dermatologist on Surgical Scar Pincushion
Asking for Self, Male, 31 years old, Abbottabad
Dear Dr I had an accident and suffered a forehead injury to the extent that a slight part of skull bone was exposed. The wound on forehead was healed with the help of 45 external stitches. Now there is a visible mark of almost 4 to 5 inches and pin cushion defect. Still some part of the wound is under the process of healing. Attached is a current picture I am looking for a treatment to remove the pin cushion defect and at least fade the scar. Kindly let me know if the treatment for this is possible. If you give me a positive response then I shall plan a visit to meet you and avail the services . I look forward to a positive response from you. Regards Ali

Assalam o Alaikum,
It seems like a pretty serious injury. I m glad u didnt have a head
injury in the incidence. Well its not actually pin cushioning but more so
trap door effect which is quite common in face and scalp injuries. I m sure
we can make it better by doing scar revisons and w plasties to merge the
raised skin flap to adjacent skin.

It is quite an extensive soft tissue injury on your forehead and the wound is still in its healing phase
First And most importnat thing is to start wound management and scar therapy and let the wound heal and scar to settle down in couple of months as already more then a months passed
Then your main concern about the pin cushion and scar revision
Which is basically a trap door effect As seen on picture will Need secondary corrective surgeries in form of scar revision To have a better much settle, smooth scar and less conspicuous scar
