Abstract
The scar is a general sequela of anyburns. If the scar becomes unsightly it influences the psychological or physical well beingness of the patient. The pigmentation difference of the scar with the surrounding skin is one factor that can make the scar unsightly. There are many methods of scar management. Laser Therapy using Er-YAG laser is one method of management of scars that are widely used in western countries. In India, the data on scar management using Er YAG laser and the effect of Er YAG laser on the management of the scar is few. In this article, we highlight the role of Er-YAG laser in post electrical burn scar resurfacing.
