Suggest Treatment For A Scar Along With Some Bump

I had a bike accident 1.7 years which scratched my forhead. After the scab fell off the wound became red and raised above the skin level Now after these years the redness reduced completely and the scar shrink a lot and the height of the scar also reduced but it is not completly flat and is still a bit raised above the skin level. It looks like there is some jelly like substance in the scar which makes it bit raised, Plz Any Suggestions. Thank You

Welcome to HCM.

Scars can be disfiguring especially when they are on face and can remind the patient of the past trauma. There are however several ways to effectively manage the scars. These are some scar reducing creams available but they take long time to produce any meaningful results and are given for minor scars. Scar reduction surgery is also done now a days. It is a minor procedure and is done by the plastic surgeon.

I would recommend to schedule an appointment with a Plastic Surgeon to treat this problem.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Have a nice day.
