Treatments and compounds for use in subterranean formations where surfaces may be subject to silica scale build-up. Certain embodiments pertain to utilizing silica scale control additives with remediation and stimulation treatments. One example of a suitable method of treatment includes providing an acidic treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid, an acid, and a silica scale control additive; contacting at least a portion of a subterranean formation with the acidic treatment fluid; and allowing the acidic treatment fluid to interact with silica scale buildup in the subterranean formation so that at least a portion of the silica scale buildup is removed.

1. A method comprising: providing an acidic treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid,an acid, anda silica scale control additive; wherein the silica scale control additive comprises at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a polyaminoamide dendrimer, a polyethyleneimine, a carboxymethylinulin, a polyacrylate, a polyallylamine, a copolymer of polyacrylamide, a polyallyldimethylammonium chloride, any combination thereof, and any derivative thereof;contacting at least a portion of a subterranean formation with the acidic treatment fluid in a remedial operation; andallowing the acidic treatment fluid to interact with silica scale buildup in the subterranean formation so that at least a portion of the silica scale buildup is removed and a concentration of soluble silica in the treatment fluid is about 500 mg/L or more by weight after interacting with the silica scale buildup, whereby precipitation of new silica scale buildup from the treatment fluid is suppressed by the silica scale control additive. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the acidic treatment fluid comprises at least one acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, sulfamic acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, chloroacetic acid, fluoroboric acid, fluorophosphoric acid, hexafluorotitanic acid, phosphoric acid, any combinations thereof, and any derivatives thereof. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the base fluid comprises at least one substance selected from the group consisting of an aqueous-based fluid, a hydrocarbon-based fluid, an emulsion, a gel, and derivatives thereof. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the silica scale control additive has a concentration in the base fluid ranging between about 0.01% and about 15% by weight. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the base fluid has a pH of less than or equal to about 4.5. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the base fluid has a pH above 0 and less than 4. 7. A method comprising: providing a treatment fluid comprising a base fluid and a silica scale control additive; wherein the silica scale control additive has a concentration in the base fluid ranging between about 0.1% to about 5% by weight and comprises at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a polyaminoamide dendrimer, a polyethyleneimine, a carboxymethylinulin, a polyacrylate, a polyallylamine, a copolymer of polyacrylamide, a polyallyldimethylammonium chloride, any combination thereof, and any derivative thereof;introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation in a remedial operation; andsuppressing precipitation of silica scale in the subterranean formation with the silica scale control additive at a soluble silicon concentration of about 500 mg/L or above. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the base fluid has a pH of less than or equal to about 4.5. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the base fluid has a pH above 0 and less than 4.0. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the base fluid comprises at least one substance selected from the group consisting of an aqueous-based fluid, a hydrocarbon-based fluid, an emulsion, a gel, a foamed fluid and derivatives thereof. 11. A method for reducing silica scale buildup in a subterranean formation, the method comprising: placing an acidic treatment fluid comprising a base fluid and a silica scale control additive in the subterranean formation; wherein the silica scale control additive comprises at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a polyaminoamide dendrimer, a polyethyleneimine, a carboxymethylinulin, a polyacrylate, a polyallylamine, a copolymer of polyacrylamide, a polyallyldimethylammonium chloride, any combination thereof, and any derivative thereof; andforming soluble silica in the subterranean formation in a remedial operation; wherein a concentration of soluble silica in the treatment fluid is about 500 mg/L or more by weight after forming the soluble silica, and precipitation of new silica scale buildup from the treatment fluid is suppressed by the silica scale control additive. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the base fluid has a pH of less than or equal to about 4.5. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the base fluid has a pH above 0 and less than 4.
