My wife has a neck TB scar just above her collarbone on the left side, and it's really affecting her emotionally. She's feeling pretty down about how it looks. Would a scar removal cream like Mederma or No Marks work, or should we consider laser treatment or plastic surgery? I've attached a photo of the scar for reference. What would be the best option for her?

This scar would respond best to surgery. Mederman or nomarks will not help at all

I'm a bit concerned because I've been using this AQUASOFT moisturizing cream from Ajanta Pharma for about 2 years now. I've been thinking, are there any side effects I should be aware of from using it for this long? Can you help me understand if there's anything I should look out for?

Aquasoft cream by Ajanta Pharma is generally considered safe, but long-term use can lead to potential side effects like skin irritation, allergic reactions, or dependence on the moisturizer, so it's recommended to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to reassess your skin's needs.
