Scar due to rta
On March met with a road accident. Had lacerated wound in right arm, legs and chin. Scar present. Showed to skin specialist, gave some injection into the scar. Told us to bring him back after six months. Worried whether the scars will go or not.

Scars take time to heal.
If it is a raised scar, it could be a keloid for which you need to take interlesional steroid injections once in three weeks to flatten the scar
