Raised Acne Scar on Nose
I’m writing to consult about a raised acne scar on my nose, which seems to be a hypertrophic scar. It developed after a breakout a while ago and has remained firm, and raised above the skin. There is no pain or itching, but it’s been persistent and hasn’t improved over time. Could you please advise whether any treatments (such as laser therapy, steroid injections, or topical creams) would be effective for this kind of scar?How about the cost of the treatment?
