I got a mole removed from my pubic area years ago and I have this very noticeable scar. Recently I’ve tried scar camouflage and after several treatments of that the scar was still white because of all the scar tissue I’m assuming. So to lessen the scar tissue I’ve recently tried micro needling at home once. That was a couple weeks ago and now my scar looks even brighter now and looks like I lost some of the scar camouflage pigment. How can I get the pigment back in the scar?
