Hi,

There are various treatments available for skin lightening and removing scars. You can talk to your doctor about it and he would propose various options available.

What is the depth of the lesion and the degree of pigmentation at the site?

What is the location of the lesion?

These are crucial questions which may help to understand the treatment possible.

Hope this helps. Let us know what the doctor said and if you have any other queries.

Best regards
