Herpes scars can often be treated with fractionated lasers
While there is no picture, most herpes scars can benefit tremendously from fractionated laser therapy. This will help blend the edges with the normal surrounding skin and thus making the scar less striking.
Again, this is without seeing the scar and going based on the most common herpes scars I have seen.
