I dealt with Trichitillomania back a few months ago but instead of pulling hair from my head, I’d pluck body hairs with tweezers. Because of my OCD, if I didn’t get the hair out, I’d dig even harder in the skin with the tweezers to try to remove them. I had two main places on where my Trich was, my legs and my nipples. Both have lead to scarring but my legs developed hyperpigmentation. I’m wondering how I can help fade both asap. What are all the options I have to get rid of these fast?

Piercing scars on the nose and face can be improved with a combination of subcision and TCA Cross to reduce the indentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Might recommend dermatology use of scar removal laser. But you are the one whom had the silicone injected and thus the post injection sequalae. Further surgery will NOT imprive in my RS over the internet opinion.
This is such a small lesion that it may fill in and heal well just using microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a couple subcutaneous PRP injections. You'll need to find someone in your area who is experienced with PRP and its use in scar revision.
