Mole Removal Scar on Upper Arm

5 months ago I had a small mole removed on my upper arm. It has turned red and is healing very slowly. My doctor injected it with a steroid thinking it would speed up the healing. Now it is raised in the middle and sunken around the edges. It casts a shadow on my arm that makes it look like a dimple. It is far more unattractive than the small mole I started with. Is there anything I can do about it? I have heard of a Yag laser. Is there any chance it will heal on its own?

Laser treatments can help both the redness and the texture of the scar.
