It would be really nice if stem cell skin restoration does become a reality in our time. Lab-grown penises?
Kitten,
Before trying anything else too invasive ( you have already found that it is definitely possible to be worse, especially from where you were starting) try and find someone who can trial these options.
Fractionated laser - using low density, maybe 10% coverage, with very small dots (120 um) with penetration to about half a millimeter. Being in the military you may have access - this kind of laser scar treatment really came out of treating military burn injuries. Usually takes multiple treatment (each would only take a couple of seconds).
PRP injection - they take some of your blood, spin it down and harvest the platelets - which have the growth factors.
They may not be perfect, but dont involve a knife or significant risk. Worth looking into, if you can find them.
