Dear RealSelf, I have a scar in the middle of my uper lip from a road accident 18 years ago. It is red, raised slightly fibrous underneath and filled with a pool of blood, this does not drain-it comes back. The two layers of skin are separated. It is slightly hypertropic either side. It has never had a chance to heal properly as the blood flow prevents the two layers from meeting. The excess skin is like a hemmorrhoid on the lip What can be done about this? Many, many thanks, Andrew
