How can i get rid of darkened scar tissue on my pinky toes? topical treatments and trying to remove the skin hasn't worked over the past 2+ years.

Tough question: Hypertrophic scars are hard to treat. May need to see a plastic surgeon to get a better perspective on your alternatives. 5th toes take a lot of sheering forces in the shoes.
