Thanks for ur solution. But when I met skin specialists, they'll tell we cant do nothing & give some ointments to reduce the colur of scar. I'm bit confused. pls suggest me.

Hi Harish,

Welcome to HCM.

Plastic surgery with skin grafting can correct the scar on your face. For this, going to a skin specialist (dermatologist) is not useful. You must consult a plastic surgeon, who is a superspecialist and if he says nothing can be done then there may be some technical reasons which prevent correction of the defect by plastic surgery.

Wishing you all the best.
