I have gotten a few rounds of tatt2away to remove a small tattoo on my left rib, just next to my breast. My last session was in August or September of 2021, and I am too afraid to continue removal due to the scarring. They are raised, sometimes itchy, bumps. I have tried silicone compression sheets, scar fading gels, and vitamin serums. Not much has seemed to work. I am at a loss of what to do next…but I am ready to try even the most intensive treatment just to feel pretty again.

In my opinion, your scar is hypopigmented and atrophic. Subcision with PRP would help the saucer shaped scar.. The color would be improved with the eximer laser. Find a scar expert.
