Brief Answer:
Cream for scar

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Thanks for uploading the photograph. It helped.
The best cream for you is a combination of silicone which is good for scar remodelling and vitamin c which will work on the pigmentation as well. Get Opexa gel and apply small quantity over the scar and massage till it is absorbed twice daily. Sunlight can make the pigmentation worse, so avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible and apply a gel based sunscreen in the mornings (Eg:- Suncros gel or Suncote gel).
Hope this helped,
Take care.
