How to remove old scar/keloid? I am 19 yrs old now, I've got this scar when I was 12. The length of it maybe 5cm. I have long legs, I can't show off my legs because of it. Sometimes I just put band-aid on it so I can go for shorter dresses.

Leg Scar
Legs unfortunately are not great for forming fine scars despite excellent technique. The scar in the picture is a bit wide and can be improved with standard removal. If it is truely a keloid the the addition of steroid injections and silicone sheeting.
