Hello, I have a flat, old (4 months) burn scar from an iron that I am desperately wanting to reduce. It is very smooth compared to the surrounding skin, not raised at all but very dark and unsightly on my arm. I have tried Mederma with no satisfaction and just bought ScarAway silicone sheets to try. I don't know what else to try if the sheets don't work and really, really want the scar to improve! Also, the picture makes it seem lighter than it actually is in real life...
