hi...thanks for sharing your problem...
different people have different quality of skin and so scar development...i would have suggest more accurately if i have the history,timing of wart excision,duration of scar and a picture....for the info provided i will suggest to massage the scar with white petroleum jelly or bapscar gel...is you got hypertrophied scar(raised above skin level) then intra lesional steroid is the better choice....also scar can be excised with post op radiotherapy..don't hesitate to ask again...thanks
