Can you get facial scar treatment on the NHS?

Hi,

I have a scar on my forehead from an accident when I was 5, I’m now 25. The scar is about an inch long line that is dented and is visible mainly due to it being sunk. I don’t remember the accident and my father who was there at the time is no longer here. The scar is really affecting me and my mental health atm, I can not afford any treatments at this time but I want to try improve it in anyway. Creams and oils do not work, I think I a surgical treatment.
Does anyone know if you can get treatments for facial scars on the NHS? I’m happy to discuss this further with anyone, can send photos if required. Thanks

Underarm whitening treatment, huh? Well, personally, I'm all for embracing our natural selves, imperfections and all. But hey, to each their own, right? If brightening up your underarms makes you feel confident and fabulous, then why not give it a shot? But remember, beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and shades!
