Brief Answer:
Treatment options for the scar explained below in details.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are several treatment options for scars.
- Based on the photo I think that the best option in your case is silicone gel sheeting. It is applied as Band Aids and fills slightly the scar.
- I also suggest you to apply coconut oil, which has repairing properties for the skin.
- Aloe Vera gel is another option. You can apply it directly on the scar for effect.
- You can also use tea tree oil. You should mix it with coconut oil and apply it on the scar.
Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
