Hello,

Welcome to health care magic forum.

Usually such scars heals gradually by primary intention.

If the scar does not disappear gradually,please do consult a dermatologist and get further treatment done as suggested.

Laser treatment can be done to remove the scar tissue even if there are side effects for the same.

Hope this helps.
