I have about 1.5” horizontal scar on my right buttock from an excised abscess. It’s been ~9 months and I’ve considered getting a tattoo to cover the scar but will have to wait longer. It’s indented, and feels a bit hard to the touch and has a raised bump. I’m 5’2” and 125lbs pretty petite. Can I get this scar minimized? Something?
