I popped a boil and it left a scar how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar from boil: There is no way to remove a scar once it has formed. The appearance of a scar can be improved with a surgical scar revision where the old scar is removed and replaced with a better looking one.
