Hi . greetings see a qualified dermatologist near you. You'll need silicone gel based creams and probably laser treatment for scar . slowly the scar appearance can be improved. However, it may not be possible to remove the scar completely. For further queries, you may send snaps of the scar on follow up messaging. Hope this helps, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bangalore.
