Scars related issue
Hello doctor!
Seven months ago I had an accident which caused cut like wounds on my forearm. Since they've healed reddish brown scars have appeared on that area.
My doubt is, is getting a tattoo over the scar area safe. Will it result in any chronic medical issue. Would having a tattoo over a 7month old scar be safe or should I wait?
I would also like to ask if the scars could be faded or made less visible.
Thanking you.
