      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The sampling method is random among patients referred to Hazrat Rasool Akram Hospital. The randomization method is simple. Our tool is to randomize the table of random numbers and place them inside sealed bags. Each bag contains the letters A or B:
 A: for the group receiving microneedling and phenytoin cream on the right  and only microneedling on the left side of the face.
 B: for the group receiving microneedling and phenytoin cream on the left and only microneedling on the right side of the face, Blinding description: The patient and 2 evaluating dermatologists will be blinde to which side of the face received  microneedling and phenytoin. Also, they will not know which side of the face is the only microneedling done.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Atrophic Scars.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention group is patients suffering from Atrophic scar lesion. The intervention group will be treated with microneedling and 1% Phenytoin topical cream, made by Medifarm company, three times a day for a week. The number of microneedling sessions will be monthly for three months (with an interval of one month and three times). Nysoya machine and 36 needle cartridges will be used for microneedling. The speed of the microneedling device will be set at 100 Hz and the penetration depth of the needles will initially be half a millimeter.Then the depth of penetration of the needles will gradually increase until there is a bleeding pinpoint on the skin. The handpiece will be done perpendicular to the skin as well as horizontally and rotationally, and spot bleeding during microneedling will be cleared with normal sterile saline. Local anesthesia using Xylopi topical cream will be performed one hour before the intervention on patients. After the intervention, the face will be washed with normal saline. Intervention 2: Control group: All steps performed for the intervention group will be repeated for the control group, except that the control group will be treated wit microneedling and Mupirocin cream only three times a day as a placebo for one week. It should be noted that each patient is considered both control group and intervention group. One side of the patient's face will be the control group and the opposite side will be the intervention group.</i_freetext>
