If I have a very thin piece of scar tissue on my skin, and then I surgically cut the skin open right along the middle of the scar, and ensure that I do all the best scar healing practises (like holding the skin on either side of the wound together), what will happen? Will the scar get smaller or bigger?

    I got some “scar tape” it’s a silicone mesh tape thing that’s suppose to reduce the look of the scar.

    The scar I was trying to deal with is on my hand so I don’t use it as much as it says and I don’t actually know if it works but I would say you should look into it.
