How can I get rid of a scar left from a boil?

February 22, 2016
Asked By:Tyler 9997 in Ohio, OH

I had a boil on my cheek right next to my mouth. And now it left a crease or dent in it. The right side of my face is smooth and the left side has the crease. I would add a picture but it's not really noticeable from pictures.
