Can massage help a tethered scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Massage is very helpful for remodeling scars, especially scars that are still forming. Topical silicone, steroid injections and surgical revision are also possible ways to help. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for details.
