Consider: Scar deactivation with or without electric stimulation by an acupuncturist. Scar injection is also very effective (not steroids).

Scar Treatment: A white scar is usually indicative of a fully mature scar (completely healed). These scar will not change any more and if they are white they have permanently lost their pigment cells and hence are white. The treatment options are very limited. Scar makeup such as dermablend and flesh colored tattoos or permanent makeup are about your only options.
