Can scars be treated with ice as a DIY numbing remedy at home?

Short answer: No, ice cannot effectively treat scars as a DIY numbing remedy at home.

Detailed answer

While ice may temporarily numb the area and reduce pain or inflammation, it does not have any direct effect on treating scars. Scars are formed due to the body's natural healing process and typically require more targeted treatments such as silicone gels, steroid injections, laser therapy, or surgical procedures. It is best to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional who can provide appropriate guidance and recommend suitable treatments based on the type and severity of the scar.
