Retin A to remove or fade new scar
A scar cannot be "removed" or erased. A scar is forever.
At 3 months the scar is still young and maturing. If you want to try and flatten the scar use silicone sheeting AND use a strong sun block. I would NOT use Retin A since it tends to sensitize the skin to sun rays AND irritate young scars.
Depending on how the scar looks at 8-12 months you may want to consider a scar revision.
