Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Facial scar : Massage is helpful for most scars, to soften them. Using cocoa butter or vitamin E can help moisturize the scar. Neither will help remove a scar though. Your scar is small enough that it might make sense to have it surgically treated (in office under local anesthesia). See a board-certified plastic surgeon.
