Surgical correction required

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
The scar is deep.
It wont go with the use of creams.
I treat such cases with a minor surgical procedure called as subscison.
It can be done by any dermatologist.
It is safe and very effective.
Please meet a dermatologist and discuss.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
