When I was a teen I developed a bad habit of plucking hair on stomach. Now I have terrible scarring. What should I do? (Photo)

I have scars on my stomach from plucking hair there for over 10 years. What the best course of action to get rid of these scars? Is it even possible? I also have similar scarring around my areolas since I used to pluck hair in that area as well.

Hi there, I suggest seeing a Dermatologist. Angular Cheilitis comes and goes. Also using certain OTC products can worsen the condition as well saliva/licking the corners of your mouth. Have a consultation for laser genesis. Also likely need a steroid as well. Best of luck!
