Scars on the feet
Without knowing the extent of the scarring or the etiology, it would be difficult to offer suggestions on what to do. Burn scars may be treated very differently than a simple scar from a previous laceration.

Removing Scars on the Lower Legs
Scar can become thickened, widened, and pigmented on the lower extremity. The approach varies depending on the quality of the scar. Topical creams, compressive therapy, silicone sheeting, TAC injections, HQ therapy, and surgical scar revision can all be employed successfully.

Revision versus injection
Scar revision surgery enables the surgeon to remove a wide,raised scar and replace it with a thinner scar. Word of caution about scar revision surgery, it is replacing a scar with another. The healing process is unpredictable and in few years the scar might heal in a different way.
If your leg scars are hypertrophic injection of kenolog could help to flatten the scar and make it less red. Best of luck!
