perfect circle nitrogen burn

I went in for liquid nitron treatment for warts on my hands 8 months ago. Total of 4... only one left serious scarring that has yet to fade. Its on the out side of my right pointer, the section of finger closest to the knuckle. The scar is a perfect circle very dark pink/red in color, raised.. almost like a bubble but it defintly looks like just an over growth of scar tissue (an explosion of skin)  and flakes like dry skin in one spot. I have tried different things but nothing has worked out so far. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
What you seem to be having are hypertrophic scars after liquid nitrogen treatment. The various treatment options for such scars are chemical peel, dermabrasion, laser or resurfacing of scars, soft-tissue augmentation, intralesional steroid injection (keloids) and excisional surgery in selected cases. Please discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
