So I've had this scar on my nose for almost a year now. It's faded over time but is there anything I can do to make it go away faster? It's hard to tell from the pictures so I added a lot, but the middle of the scar is sort of shallow and the outsides are slightly raised and red.

ice pick? Its a bit blurry and still red...hard to tell

how old is it? Is is from a pimple?

its hardly noticeable, so plaese dont worry.

Retinoids can sometimes help as they stimulate collagen production. Differin is a retinoid, the mildest one. Also i use a glycolic acid facewash, it is a chemical exfoliant and helps. Once the redness goes it will be unnoticeable.

 

 

Also, the exfoliaters will help reduce redness too

Its a year old, so im not sure how much healing will take place now
