Cimeosil is especially effective on raised and red scars resulting from trauma or surgery, particular hypertrophic scars and keloids.
- Hypertrophic scars are raised and red, resulting from trauma such as burns, lacerations, scalpel cuts and wound stitches.
- Keloids are raised, tough scars that are pinkish or purplish in color that can begin from something as minor as a small cut or even a pimple. Unlike hypertrophic scars, keloids grow beyond the site of the original injury.
