Scars resulting from scratch/injury can be only improved cosmetically with medicines and can not be erased completely.
In such a case i usually ask my patients to use a topical retinoid e.g tretinoin 0.025 % cream once daily at night. It helps to remodel collagen and can fill up scra somewhat making it less noticeable.
I would advice that you also take a second opinion from a plastic surgeon regarding scar revision which can give cosmetically good results.
