Treatment totally depends on the depth of scar not size. Various modalities include creams,peels or laser resurfacing. Best Regards Dr. Ritupurna Dash MD Dermatologist & Aesthetic Surgeon DASHDermatology
Next Steps
New scars heal better than old so please show a dermatologist soon. To begin with you can apply creams containing kojic acid/arbutin/liquorice/silicone.
