Abstract

The scar is a sequela of any form of trauma. The abnormal scar can influence an individual’s well beingness. The prevention, as well as treatment of scars, is important. The scar makes a good percentage of consultations in any Plastic Surgery department or dermatology department. There are many methods to manage a scar, Laser Therapy using Er YAG laser is one method of management of scars that are widely used. This study was conducted in a Tertiary care Institute in South India under the Department of plastic surgery, the aim of which was to find out if there is any correlation of comorbidities with their outcome of scars following Er YAG Laser therapy. Some studies evaluated the response of laser therapy based on the time of starting the therapy and location of the scar but the data based on the outcome of scars in comorbidity is few. A Total of 73 scars were included in the study with a follow-up period of 6 months.
