1. Laser or microneedling therapy: If the scar area is relatively small, laser treatment or microneedling may be used for scar removal.
2. Skin grafting surgery: For large, deeply pigmented scars, surgical intervention—primarily skin grafting—may be performed to improve appearance. Maintain proper wound hygiene and avoid massaging or rubbing the surgical site.

Below, we address this question.
