A member asked:

Have an ugly scar on breast after abscess incision and drainage. how can it be treated. its deep indented. feel depressed about it.

Your decision: A plastic surgeon can revise a scar like this and make it less visible. Most people -- including most possible partners -- don't care at all about whether you've got even quite a large scar here. Hopefully you get the outcome you want. Best wishes.
