How to heal scars and redness on cheeks after finishing accutane? i have one res scar thats been on me since october 2012! help please

See plastic surgeon: First one may try injecting a potent steroid into the scar to see if it would reduce it. Failing that you may need some plastic surgery. I don't know if a laser would help erase it or not.
