White scar
About two years ago, I got a cold sore right below my nose. Inadvertently, I removed the scab before it was healed. Now I have a white scar. It doesn’t hurt and its not bumpy but its unsightly to me. All pigment in that area has been lost. The scar is the size of a dime. Does anyone know how I can make this white scar look better (without makeup)?

You can try putting vitamin E oil on it to see if that will help it to fade- other wise, your doctor may be able to recommend some other treatment options to clear it up.
