Brief Answer:
Surgical intervention required
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
These type of depressed scars need surgical treatment.
A small procedure called as subscission is very useful.
In this procedure a small needle is passed below the scar and adhesions are cut.
It is an opd based procedure and hardly takes 15 minutes to perform.
Please meet a dermatologist and ask regarding this procedure.
Creams won't be beneficial in your case.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you.
