How do i get rid of scar tissue in ankle from previous sprains without surgery? there is still a raised portion in ankle 2 years later.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't: You really can't get rid of internal scar tissue without physically removing them like in surgery. However, I don't think the "raised portion" is scar tissue. It's most likely a ganglion, lipoma, etc..., possibly triggered by the ankle injury.
