How to Remove 2 Year Old Facial Scar From Dog Bite? (photo)

I have this facial scar right above my lip from a dog bite. This happened 2 years ago. The scar is not deep or wide, but I had to get 3 stitches. The scar now is white and sligtly raised. I am 14 years old and asian. I was wondering if I could do anything to remove this scar? Natural or surgical, whichever one can remove it. Thank you very much.
