Abstract:

<em>Scar formation is a phase of the natural phenomenon of the wound healing process. It can cause a significant influence on the appearance of an individual. The scar appearance can vary depending on age, sex, genetics, size of the wound, and location. There are many cosmetic treatments/ surgeries and products intended to remove scars. This study was designed to develop a cream with a selected formula from traditional medicine and to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing scar marks. Exclusion criteria were keloids, and hypertrophic scars while stretch marks,</em><em> </em><em>post-inflammato

AbstractThe accurate assessment of wound healing post‐caesarean section, especially in twin pregnancies, remains a pivotal concern in obstetrics, given its implications for maternal health and recovery.

This meta‐analysis directly compares the efficacy of TU and CU in evaluating wound healing and scar formation, crucial for optimizing postoperative care. Results indicate that TU is associa
