Try using something called "Mederma". It's scar cream and it's amazing! I had a few cuts that were in a prominent place and I used it and they're gone. No trace at all.

It takes about 2 yrs for scars to mature and become soft and pliable.  You can use mederma or kelocote to speed up the process.   There are also a lot of over the counter stuff you can get for scars.  In my experience Scarguard Scar Care yielded the best results on a scar I got from cutting my hand.

Since it only abraded the top layer of skin, it is highly unlikely that a scar will result.  The best thing to do after cleaning it with mild soap and water is to put an antimicrobial ointment on it until it heals such as bacitracin ointment or neosporin (both over the counter items).

No. The scar will probably be lighter than the rest of your skin. I suggest that you seriously think about the possibility that you may regret it. Does it really bother you? Do people mention it? Have you ever been teased?\n\nI would probably leave it alone.

try using Castor oil, rub into scars and marks. they should start to fade in about 30-45 days. inexpensive too

There are some over the counter products that can help with scarring.  Ask a local pharmacist and they should be able to recommend something.\n\nAlso, try Mary Kay Microdermabrasion.  It gently removes the top layer of skin and I know a lady who has dramatically reduced the acne scars on her face by using it.\n\nGood luck to you.

Try Vitamin E oil or cream.  It is supposed to reduce the appearance of scars.  I hope this helps!

Treat it with something like Neosporin and keep it very clean. I have a pox scar on my cheek, but it isn't bad at all--I think it's cute. They don't scar too badly unless you burst a lot of them.

you can try vitamin e cream, or take an actual vitamin e capsule, poke it with a needle and place the actual oily substance on a scar.....try this once on an out of the way spot to make sure you don't have a reaction to it......I've seen vitamin e oil really make a difference in scars......actually, rubbing any kind of lotion into a scar will eventually help to decrease the appearance.....this was told to me by an ENT Plastics surgeon who sewed my nose up after a dog bite......you can barely see the scar at all.......

I had a really bad burn in 2003, and the scar is still a purplish color.  Burn scars are the worst and take a long time to heal.  Silvadean (sp?) is really good, but it is super expensive.  Another thing for bad scars is just to keep it out of the sun and elements.  During the summer, be sure to put lots of sun screen on it.  This is for a bad burn...I don't know how yours is.

You can try vitamin e oil.  It will not totally remove large scars but, it will shrink them.  It helps small scars tremendously

In the beginning put cocoa butter on them. Like all scar tissue they need time to heal. Keeping them moist will help the healing process. Once you are able, start stomach exercises. Situps are great! Keeping the skin tight and firm will help in keeping them less noticeable. After this, there are several companies that make a lotion with firming properties. Most are advertised for use with cellulite, but they work great for this purpose as well. I hope these things will help you. :)\n\nAnd congrats on your new addition. :)

Some people find that Vitamin E oil applied to the skin helps get rid of scarring.  (If you try this, test a little on your arm first to be sure you are not sensitive or allergic to it....always a good idea to do when using a new product.)\n\nOther things that are might help are Vitamin A,  Chammomile, and Aloe....\n\nThere are also a few commercial products available which are supposed to help with scars.   I can't say if any of them work or not and they seem kinda pricey.\n\nA dermatologist could be your answer if you have the money or insurance to see one. There are things like dermabrasion and skin resurfacing that might help and a dermatologist is more likely to know the newest and best treatments.\n\nGood luck....\n\nAlley

Try applying cocoa butter on them and massaging daily. Another option is a paste of turmeric, yogurt and rice flour. Apply on the scar and when the paste dries srub them off.\n\nPS: Turmeric can lightly stain towels and clothes. So wash away with a mild soap after scrubbing it off. Good luck!
