Besides, steroids possess a strong anti-inflammatory action.\u00a0Positive dynamics is observed in 50-100% of patients (Fig.1). Fig.1. Treatment of hypertrophic scar after c-section before and after intralesional corticosteroid injections The suspension is injected directly into the scar (Fig. 2). The injection of the suspension is painful, so that a local anesthetic can be used. The frequency and number of sessions varies depending [\u2026]"}
