How do I get rid of this boil scar? (photos)

Question

I got a really bad boil on my face over 2 months ago. It took 1 month for wound to heal over, and now almost 2 months for the redness to go away. After a shower it gets really red and gross. How do I treat this and make the skin look normal again? It looks like a circle in a circle. Thanks!

I would use a combination of techniques including application of Plato's Scar Serum, subcision, and liquid HA fillers to fill the scar. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

This can be treated with laser and microneedling.  I suggest a formal consultation with a scarring expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.
