(B) Three years after starting deprodone propionate plaster.

A 50-year-old female patient developed a hypertrophic scar after cesarean section surgery. She was told to wear a deprodone propionate plaster continuously. The plaster was only changed during bathing or if it became loose. The scar softened within 6 months of starting the treatment. By the third year, the scar had flattened completely and now had a color similar to its surrounding skin.
