Yeah, I had a raised mark smack in the middle of my cheek. It actually went down a lot after a year, so don’t lose hope. I tried some over-the-counter scar cream, but I honestly think it was time (and not picking at it again!) that really helped.

Dude, I know exactly how you feel. I had this gnarly raised scar on my chin for the longest time after I picked at a pimple. It felt like a total eyesore, and I was so self-conscious about it. Mine did flatten over time, but it felt like ages. Hang in there!

I had no idea silicone gels were a thing until my friend told me about them. Tried them on a raised scar on my knee after a bike wipeout. Took a bit of commitment—like every day for a couple months—but it seemed to help flatten it out and fade the color. Just throwing in my two cents in case you want to research that route. Good luck!

Hey there, I know how frustrating it is when a scar decides to plant itself front and center, especially between your eyebrows where you can’t help but see it every single time you look in the mirror. Scars—especially raised ones—can sometimes be hypertrophic scars, which might appear thick and a bit raised above the skin's surface. The good news is that many of these do soften and reduce over time as they mature, though the exact timeline is different for everyone.

If you’re really worried about whether it’ll fade or stick around long-term, here are some things you can consider (keeping in mind I’m not a medical professional, so always check with a pro if you have doubts):
• Try to keep the area moisturized: Simple moisturizers can help keep the skin supple, and certain scar creams or silicone-based gels can help reduce their appearance.
• Massage the Scar: It can help to start lightly massaging a raised scar. This can sometimes break down rigid tissue, especially when done regularly. It’s not an overnight fix, but consistent effort might help soften things up.
• Patience & Sun Protection: Scars are extra sensitive to the sun, which can make them more noticeable. Protecting the spot might help it blend more smoothly with your natural skin tone over time. Even just remembering to wear a cap out in bright conditions can go a long way.
• Check with a Dermatologist or Specialist: If it’s really bugging you and you want to explore professional treatments, you might ask about procedures like steroid injections, laser therapy, or other options like that.

Had a post-acne bump right on my chin once. For me, gentle exfoliation helped a bit, but I also just gave it time. Fingers crossed yours eases up. Keep the faith!
