BCG Scar removal question, can it be cut out and skin restitched?

luls777
I was born in a "foreign land" where they must have used a cattle prod to give our BCG Vaccination with. As a result, I have a very large/raised, somewhat bunny shaped scar that I hate. Can it be cut out and the skin restitched? I'd rather have a scar from stitched than this ugly thing. Please let me know
