Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
scars and cut marks of larger area cannot be removed or reduced with ointments. Probably, post surgery, the would must have been gone in for keloid formation.
If it is looking ugly, for cosmetic reasons, you need to undergo plastic surgery to overcome it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
