I got the staples out of my head and the wound healed up good but the bad news is The scar is horrible. the Dr. did a horrendous job closing the wound. the back part of my scalp overlaps the front instead of being flat. Can my scar be fixed. its causing me a great deal of stress. Thanks excised or revised in order to make flat and not indented? im losing my hair and all I want to do is be able to shave my head. i know i cant get rid of the scar but i just want to
