It's been 9 months since i had my son via emergency caesarian. scar has healed but it left behind a rough line that sticks out. how do i smooth this out?

Mederma: Mederma can be helpful i also would suggest acupuncture. I have patients with keloids and acupuncture resolved it! shea butter and or cocoa butter rubbed on it - 2-3 x a day- over time will also help smooth it out.
