Hi everyone,

I have been reading threads on this site for a couple of years and am ready to look at treatment options for the boxcar/saucer type scar on my forehead (photos attached).

The scar is about 1cm wide and is depressed. I also have bad skin texture and some other small scars/damaged pores in the area.

I'd appreciate any advice. I live in London, if anybody knows a good cosmetic dermatologist that would be amazing!

I can't see it? I don't think it's worth doing anything about since it's practically invisible even under harsh lighting. For skin texture, maybe look into retinoids and niacinamide.

Here™s another from a different angle, it is noticeable in all light but the camera doesn™t show up so well.

Would these help to fill shallow indentations?

Thanks.

You do not have any scarring, sir. Just continue your normal daily skin care routine.
