Options for deep scar on the bridge of my nose? (photos)

January 3, 2019
Asked By:i3El1m7y0 in Columbia, SC

Hello! I ran into a metal birdfeeder as a kid, about 10 years ago, and never got stitches to close the wound. From what I remember, a doctor told my parents and I that a steri strip would be fine to close it. As a result, I have a deep scar on the bridge of my nose that has bothered me for years. It is fairly deep (I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos) and I can definitely feel scar tissue under the line on my nose. What are some of my options? Thank you in advance!
