Options for shingles scar on chin? (Photo)

June 6, 2017
Asked By:Julie Los Altos Hills in Mountain View, CA

I had the shingles in October and am left with this scar. I am wondering if there are any options that are better than others. Should I be worried about having a worse scar from serial excision ? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
