Phenytoin for Sunken Acne Scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a topical medication called phenytoin can improve sunken acne scars. It's for adults (18+) with atrophic scars, and it excludes people who are pregnant, have active infections, or take certain medications.

This study compares three treatments for sunken acne scars: a simple procedure (subcision), subcision with a CO₂ laser, or subcision with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The goal is to see which combination works best for improving the appearance of scars.
This trial compares two scar treatments: using a fractionated CO2 laser to deliver either insulin or platelet-rich plasma into atrophic acne scars. The goal is to see which approach improves the appearance of sunken scars more effectively.
This study compares three types of treatments — two lasers and microneedling — to improve depressed acne scars on the face. It is for people with a range of skin tones who have not had recent facial treatments or used certain medications.
