I got the scars in Jan 2015, I was scratched by my glasses when playing basketball. The scars are raised a little bit. I've consulted some doctors and was given the options: Surgery to cut the scars and sew them again (risky) Inject something to make the scar more flat Micropen treatment: the doctor said the improvement was at most 20% I really would like to get rid of my scars, it seems these options are not the best to achieve my goal. Please let me know if you have any suggestion thank you!

I would begin with a combination of Melarase AM, Melarase PM, Plato's Scar Serum, Melapads, and a retinoid cream to lighten the dark discoloration of the scars.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
With this type of scarring, gels or creams won't make much improvement. I suggest seeing an expert. Lasers, fillers and microneedling can help. Best, Dr. Emer.
