Asked By:kellc37 in Bridgewater, NJ

I fell off my bike and cut open my knee when I was 10. I guess it healed the best it could considering the place it's in. I know that knee scars are hard to fix/hide because of the constant bending and stretching of the skin. But is there anything I can do at all to minimize it to some extent? Injections, creams, tattooing, laser treatment?? I haven't been able to wear shorts or skirts my entire life. Some say it's a keloid but some say it's not. It's not thick but maybe it's because the area it's in.
