I had surgery a little over 3 months ago to remove a dermatofibroma on my left forearm. Is it possible to have laser resurfacing on this type of scar and will that likely produce a good result? I knew there would be a scar, but I would just like to have to scar lighter in color or closer to my skin tone. What is the appropriate time after surgery to have laser resurfacing? Should I see a plastic surgeon or dermatologist for evaluation and possible laser treatment of scar?
