Burn Mark On Hand. Used Coconut Oils, Wanish Lotions. Is Scanil Oil Effective?

How effective is Scanil gel to remove a 26yrs old burn mark on my hand?
The mark more than pigmentation is due to fibers that have become lumpy under the skin.
I had applied all possible creams like hexilac, wanish lotion, placentrex, coconut and e-oils over these years but none was able to cure it.
Then I used a cosmetic stretch-mark lotion(which is now discontinued by the company), and surprisingly it reduced the mark by 70%
Since the lotion is discontinued now, I cannot continue to use it. Somebody recommended Scanil gel to me, How effective will that be? Do you recommend it?
