Suggest Treatment For Indentation On Shin Post Gun Shot Injury
over ten years ago i was shot in the shin close range with an airsoft gun, it has healed but left a small brown dent in the area, the skin is hard and dry there if i scratch the area it turns white like i am peeling after a sunburn it almost seems like a scab but ive had it over ten years and its very slowly getting bigger

This can be hypertrophied scar or keloid. I would recommend you to show it to skin specialist . it can be a contact dermatitis also. Itching will increase it so you should avoid rubbing it.
