Prominent circumcision scar from birth revision. Options for removal? (photos)

August 4, 2022
Asked By:BV8989 in Los Angeles, California

I have a pretty prominent brown scar from my circumcision at birth and was wondering if there are procedures to lessen the darkness? Can it be lightened by laser or something? Makes me really insecure and would love to find out if there is anything that can be done.
