Dog Bite: will microneedling help with scarring? (Photos)

September 17, 2018
Asked By:mskellybabbit in Oklahoma City, OK

I was attacked by two pitbulls on 6/14/18. I have no insurance and I am terrified that waiting on lawyers & stuff is going to make scarring harder to treat. Will microneedling help? Can I do it at home? What can I do at home that will help? Also why does it feel like hard little pimples where the scars are at. Thank you.
