I had never heard of using steroids for scars . . . perhaps my doctor is concerned that my vanity requires me to be scar free.
I guess since dermatologists make the bulk of their money from cosmetic procedures, all of my aftercare was free, including near daily visits to check the healing (and to change my dressings) and for stitch removal. I have never been so surprised by a medical professional.
