Went to doc couple months ago for hard lump on tibia. did x-ray, found sub scar tissue. can rubbing a scar for months on end make it feel bigger?

Scar massage: Scar massage can effectively decrease scar tissue for the first six months after injury. Ultrasound can also help usually performed by a physical therapist.
