Need consultation: There are several types of scars - each of them may need to be treated differently - laser vs surgery vs peels etc etc. I would recommend seeking the assistance of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss your options. Be aware that cosmetic treatment is likely not covered by insurance.
