Namaste! You asked about the effectiveness of a cream for a brown-colored scar on your thigh caused by steam, which has been present for 9 months.

When considering treatment for such a scar, here are some important points:

• Scar Maturity: Scars can take up to a year or more to fully mature. At 9 months, your scar is likely stable but may still improve with treatment.

• Effectiveness of Creams: Topical creams containing ingredients like silicone, vitamin E, or skin-lightening agents can sometimes help reduce scar appearance. However, the results depend on the scar type and your skin’s response.

• Consultation: It is best to see a dermatologist who can assess your scar and recommend the most suitable cream or treatment.

• Additional Treatments: For older scars, options like laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels might be more effective.

Meanwhile, protect the scar from sun exposure by using sunscreen or covering it, and keep the skin moisturized to support healing.

If you provide the name or ingredients of the cream you are considering, I can offer more specific advice on its potential effectiveness.

Please consult a dermatologist for personalized evaluation and treatment.
