In order to give you proper guidance in the treatment of scars, a physician would need to personally evaluate your condition. There are many different approaches and treatments, but all are very dependent upon an in person evaluation by a Board Certified Dermatologist in your area. Treatments may include chemical peels, laser resurfacing, non-ablative resurfacing, dermal fillers, punch excision, subcision to name a few.
Good Luck!
