I think you'd start with a dermatologist then they can recommend a plastic surgeon. Some dermatologist are now treating patients who have scars, I know there's medication for some scars.

It depends on how bad the scar is. If it's something from a small cat, I'm sure a simple cream could now get rid of it. But if it looks like you were hit by a car, I doubt any type of cream is gonna make it go away. I would definitely ask a dermatologist first though.
