Thank you very much for your advice. No progress as of yet. Ive been to my GP and he dismissed all the possible treatments you mentioned, and denied the possibility of referal to a dermatologist or recommendation of a private doctor i could visit. At a loss as to where to go next. I personally believe he didnt want to entertain helping me. Kind regards.

You can apply mederma cream on the scar. Other than that, other treatment options include azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.
