Asked By:karenandrade23 in Palmdale, California

My 7 year old daughter got this scar around a year and some months ago. It healed horrible. Any time she makes the tiniest facial expression part of the scar indents while the other part of her scar rises up. Can this be fixed in any way? She’s also 7 so don’t know what can be done for her?
