I have two burn scars as a result of bad chemical peels that are very noticable. I have tried most of all topical solutions from neosporin, bio oil, honey, tepezcohuite, vitamin e, and various other moisturizers. I have had these scars for about a year as they have shown no signs of improvement. My skin is also very oil and sensitive which does not help. I would like to know what type of scar I have and the different treatments I should seek. Any help is greatly appreciated

Please see a cosmetic dermatologist with surgical experience. Based on the location and size, you look to have a hypertrophic scar and will need steroid injections +/- laser treatments to make it better. Often if they dont improve after 3-4 treatments I offer surgical removal....
