On the picture shown you see a white bump. I saw that it was white and I thought it was a wart. So I kept ripping it off for about a year. This year I went to my doctor and asked what it was and she said it was a scar and that it could not be removed. I really need to know if theres some type of way this scar could be removed. Please help me. I can't stand when people look it at. I always try to hide it with lipstick but it comes off when i eat or drink.
