      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Using simple randomization method, patients' lesions are divided into 3 groups, so that out of 36 sealed envelopes, one envelope is randomly selected for each lesion. Inside each envelope is the letter A or B or C, Blinding description: Due to the clear difference between the mentioned therapeutic interventions, it is not possible to blind the therapist and patients and the study will be performed as a single blind study. The data will be evaluated by a blind evaluator based on the images prepared from the lesions in each session and also the data analysis will be done by a blind statistical expert.</study_design>
      <phase>2-3</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Hypertrophic erythematous scar.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: Treatment with PDL: Before the intervention, cleaning the lesion by using normal saline impregnated gas will be done. Then, 60 minutes before laser treatment, a local anesthetic cream containing lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% (Xyla-P, Tehran Chemie, Tehran, Iran) will be applied to the lesion. At the end of 60 minutes, the local anesthetic cream will be removed using an alcohol swab. Then PDL laser using Alexandrite Deca laser device (Synchro VasQ, Deka, Florence, Italy) with a pulse of 595 nm, spot size 7 mm, single duration of half a millisecond and power of 6.5 J / cm2 with 100 shots per area A 10 × 10 cm square lesion will be applied. PDL laser will be applied in all treatment groups and in the first three sessions. Intervention 2: Intervention group 1: PDL treatment with injection of diluted botulinum toxin type A: In the second group, in addition to the PDL laser, in the first session, the injection of botulinum toxin type A of Dysport manufacturer (Speywood Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Maidenhead, UK) will be performed in diluted form immediately after laser treatment. Each vial contains Clostridium botulinum toxin type A hemoglutin complex with 125 micrograms of human albumin and 2.5 mg of lactose. Each vial has 500 units of dysport and dilution will be performed in 2.5 ml of normal saline to achieve a concentration of 200 units per ml. The toxin will then be injected at a dose of 2.5 units per cubic centimeter into the lesion, so that the total number of units injected into each lesion does not exceed 100 units. Intervention 3: Intervention group 2: PDL treatment with intralesional injection of triamcinolone: In the third group, in addition to PDL laser, in the first session, intralesional triamcinolone will be performed immediately after laser treatment. For this purpose, 40 mg / 1 triamcinolone ampoule is used (Exir Co., Tehran, Iran) which is diluted with 2% lidocaine solution (Xylopen, Exir co., Tehran, Iran) in equal volume and in a concentration of 20 Mg in 1 ml will be used. Finally, 1 ml (20 mg of triamcinolone) per 100 cm 2 of the lesion will be injected.</i_freetext>
