Two year old scar - What are my options? Will this scar fade? (Photos)

May 18, 2025
Asked By:Fantastic874332 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I have a scar in the centre of my forehead. It is now two years old but I’m concerned about how it’s healed. It’s not a thin line like I’d have hoped but a bit wider. Is this likely to be less noticeable with time? It’s also quite white. Is there anything I can do to help? Thanks
