A member asked:

How can one remove a scar after having a skin allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Improve not remove : Yes it is possible to improve scars but not necessarily remove the scars using a combination of skin care, sunscreen, silicone gel sheeting, etc. Dermabrasion, chemical peels or laser resurfacing in addition to surgery may also be options.
