Hello,
Thanks for the query,

The scar after injury occur due to post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.

Such scar can be remove surgically as well as medically .

There are creams available for scars like vaniza and hexilak . But i would suggest you to use KOJIC ACID CREAM , which is very effective .

Exfoliate your facial skin once a week .

If scar persist after 2-3 weeks then consult dermatologist .

Dermatologist can recommend procedure like dermabrassion ,microneedling or chemical peeling depending upon the severity of the scar .

Doctor may also prescribe corticosteroid ointment .

Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
