A member asked:

When do scar tissue go away. i had a lap appendectomy two months ago and i still have a tiny bump underneath one of my scars?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scars: Surgical scars can diminish and remodel over a time of 3-6 months after surgery, and will even continue to heal and change over a year from surgery. There are scar ointments or patches than you can try from the drug store if you are concerned (mederma, or silicone scar sheet).
