How do I get rid of my toe scar?

Question

For 8 years I've had a scar on both my big toes from when my tight shoes used to rub against them. They aren't dry they are just discoloured skin! What can I do to get rid of them?

This can be improved with a combination of lasers, tattoo lasers, skin lightening and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

I would suggest a combination of topical creams including Melapads, Luminase Body, and Exfolase Body to help reduce the pigmentation scar. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank you for posting your question. Hydroquinone bleaching cream can help lightening dark spots. As of now, I recommend putting on sunscreen and avoiding sunlight exposure to reduce further hyperpigmentation. Best of luck.
