How to get rid of scarring from digging around to pull the hairs out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No hair in scar: No hair does not generally grow in a scar as the hair follicles do not exist in scar tissue. Scars are sometimes zigzagged (w plasty or broken line scar) in order to avoid the hair "parting" along the scar which can me most visible when your hair gets wet.
