Scar from mole removal on face - help (Photo)

BKNY718
I had a mole removed from my face for cosmetic reasons only in Jan. My derm told me not to do it but I didn't listen & he removed it via shaving. It's been 5 months & the scar is killing me. I have been using the silicone scar gel daily, tretinoin, & have been doing IPL w/Microneedling monthly. It is still very noticeable especially the round outline. I have never been self conscious in my life but its killing me - what regiment do you recommend to take care of it? I will do absolutely anything!
