Difficult: There are several things you can try provided the healing process is complete. A dermatologist , trained plastic surgeon or aesthetic doctor would be a aide. Steroid injection into the belly of the scar may shrink it. If the scar is unsightly it can be surgically revised with a cosmetic closure Resurfacing laser therapy these are treatments that may help
