Is there anything that could fix/minimize this horrible indented scarring on tip of inelastic nose? (photos)

n8maxfield
I had a cyst on the tip of my nose that itched constantly. Well it might have been a scar from poking a subcutaneous zit with a needle during adolescents. I had a dermatologist remove it 6 years ago by incision, cutting it out and regular stitches. He claimed it'd be a small linear scar but it looks hideous and I'm deeply concerned as it is the focal point of the face and I'm in sales. It reeks havoc on my confidence. Is there any hope or should I leave well enough alone?
