Best cream/gel for insect bite scars

Hi. Recently I have been bitten by fleas and now it’s getting better. I wish to have recommendations on any best cream/ gel to get rid of the scars quickly. Thank you.

For the scarring that is caused by insect bites, your doctor may be able to give you prescription for an ointment or a cream. If your scars are very severe, the dermatologist may even consider suggesting a more invasive procedure like dermabrasion and laser resurfacing. To avoid scarring, avoid scratching in the first place.

Scar can be tricky to treat and it is an annoying condition to have, but with proper care and avoidance of irritants, achieving remission is possible. Hopefully, this gives you useful insight to what you are going through.

Regarding your question of best cream, we cannot advise you on this before performing clinical examination on your skin condition.
