How To Cure A Scar On The Thumb?

I have a 7 year old scar on my thumb. I broke my thumb and had to have pins placed until it healed. The scar is a small dot like scar, there is 2, 1 on each side. A couple of days ago I noticed some pain in my thumb and realized my scar was a blister.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Scar marks can be removed medically as well as surgically.

Also LASERS are good in removing scars.

The modality of treatment can be decided only after seeing the scar.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

I find this answer helpful
