Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history, I understand that you have a depressed scar on your forehead.
depressed scars generally do not respond well to gel/ creams.
You need to go for scar revision procedures.
The options for you include dermaroller/ micro needling, fractional erbium-yah laser or Pixel laser and scar revision surgery.
You could consult a good dermatologist / plastic surgeon to discuss the options.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
