I had a mole removed four months ago and have a bad scar, what can I do to improve the appearance? (photos)

March 21, 2016
Asked By:MT93

My mole was raised and red but small. The PA said she could remove it and her nurse explained to me that in one month I'd have a flat slightly pink scar. It was removed by the shave technique. It's been four months and I have a purple scar that is deeply indented. It looks WAY worse than the mole ever did. I am looking for advice on what I can do to improve the scar? Micro needling? Laser? I am going back to the PA but really want to hear other opinions because my trust in her is shaken.
