How Can Circular Red Indent On Forehead Left Behind After Estitition Burning Off A Mole Healed?

There is a circular red indent left on my forehead from an estitition burning off a mole with a new cashew but oil treatment. She said initially it would take 6 weeks to heal. It's been 4 months. Is the skin ever going to heal back? I went to a dermatologist and she put filler in it. I went back and she put a lazer light to it. She said it won't heal back. What do you think?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
An atrophied or depressed scar could be treated by subscision, scar revision, dermaroller, laser , fillers, cautery or RF ablation etc.
However what would help your scar could only be decided by visualising it.
For the same, you may use premium feature of this website to upload image of your scar and query.
Hope this helped.
Take care
