February 21, 2015
Asked By:franbarr in Minneapolis, MN

The surgeon saw me after six months and agreed that there was scar tissue and to try massage. He agreed with me that a moderate level dermapen treatment done might help. It is no better. There is discomfort in this area and it is sensitive to touch. He stated that the last resort would be cortisone. IWhat options do I have?
