Brief Answer:
Consider laser treatment or microneedling sessions

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Health Care Magic..

I can understand your concern but creams are not very effective in the treatment of scars.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to try using Contratubex ointment on the scar twice daily for 6-8 weeks but if doesn't show much improvement in this time consider going for laser treatment or microneedling sessions.

This will help in clearing your scar.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
