WORLD KINDNESS DAY!

Yesterday was Word Burns Week:
a global event celebrated in Australia as well to promote and celebrate acts of kindness.

We are reminded of the positive impact that acts of kindness can have on everyone; from individuals to large communities and globally.

Suggestions to celebrate the day include:

* Perform Acts of Kindness: Throughout the day, consciously perform acts of kindness, such as helping a neighbor, complimenting a colleague, or donating to a charity

* Spread Positivity: Share uplifting and positive messages on social media to inspire others to be kind and compassionate

* Volunteer: Offer your time to volunteer for a local charity or nonprofit organization that aligns with your values

* Donate: Make a donation to a charitable cause that you believe in, whether it’s for humanitarian aid, education, or healthcare

* Teach Kindness: Educate children and young people about the importance of kindness and empathy through storytelling or classroom activities

* Random Acts of Kindness: Surprise someone with a random act of kindness, such as buying a stranger’s coffee or leaving an encouraging note for a friend.

At The Scar Clinic Perth we are on board with this and will perhaps share our kindness activities next week...

CHEST KELOID SCARS

These images show our 24-year old patient before and 3 months after a single CO2 laser and steroid treatment for a recurrent and steroid-resistant keloid on her chest.

This had previously been injected with steroid alone with minimal response.
This scar was itchy and uncomfortable when touched by clothing.

The scar has flattened by several millimetres and the colour improved (due to less blood-filled scar) with a single laser and steroid treatment and is no longer itchy or sore. She will continue treatment to achieve further improvement.

These photographs are of an actual patient treated at The Scar Clinic Perth by Dr Helen Douglas who has given her permission for use of these images for education and marketing.
