Fig. 3. — Treatment of hypertrophic scars with deprodone propionate plaster. (Left) Pretreatment view. (Right) Three years after starting deprodone propionate plaster. A 50-year-old woman had several hypertrophic scars as a result of cesarean delivery. She was provided with deprodone propionate plaster and told to apply it 24 hours per day until further notice. She was instructed to peel it off while taking a bath and then reapply it. When the plaster lost its adhesiveness, it was replaced by a new plaster. After 6 months, the scar became soft. After 3 years, the scar became completely flat and its tone was close to that of the surrounding skin.
