Surgery: If the scar is white nothing else but surgery or make up will help. If it s red and shortly after trauma, massaging with oil everyday cand reduce the amount of scar.Ring. If it is a white scar only surgery can remove it.

Improve, not remove: Scars are permanent. Having said that, there are ways to make them less noticeable. The first is time: scars mature over 6-18 months and don't assume their final form till then. Other methods are pressure, silicone sheeting, mederma, steroid injections or surgery. Surgery is a last resort for most scars, but many can be improved in this way if all else fails.
