Hello, seven months ago I had a bicycle accident. I fell and cut my leg, just beneath the right knee. Wound was big, but even though I went to the doctor immediately to treat the wound, the scar remained. Scar is on visible spot and that really makes me uncomfortable. I would like to remove it, do cortisone shots shrink scar tissue?

I have had a scar on my knee. I was in a dilemma, should I try the laser, or use this new way. Cortisone shots greatly reduced the pain, so with their help, I have evaded chirurgical intervention, which I do not like at all. I hope those shots could help you, but if they dont, dont lose hope. The chirurgical intervention is always an option.
