Scars are permanent marks on the skin, caused due to an injury. In the area of the scar, fibrous tissues replace the normal skin. Scar surgery is an option in which a procedure involves modification of the scars on the body, caused due to burns, allergy or wounds. A scar surgery uses laser therapy or skin graft for treatment. Over the counter skin creams work on new, fresh scars i.e. Immediately after the skin heals, but are usually a disappointment if used later.

Hello, apply homoeopathic - thiosinaminum q few drops mixed in a glycerin solution on scars that are visible (as it is less greasy, so is more easily absorbed into the skin. Also take thiosinaminum 200 orally once a week for 2 weeks, to dissolve large, extensive scars. The oral dose supports the action of the topical application.

Hello. Definitely it can be removed. However the mode of removal has to be decided on the size, position and the depth of the tattoo, for which I would like you to get it examined first. It can be removed by either, Excision or laser therapy etc, all which has their own pros and cons. These you can discuss accordingly.
