Yip there is an easy way to make it look better without spending a lot of money on surgery.Go to your pharmacy and buy some BIO oil or sometimes they call it tissue oil.It is a very good vitamen A oil that you put on youre scar and in time it will heal the scar and skin.I had really bad burns on my back ones from hot oil spilling on me, and there is no burn marks anymore.Good luck

there's a shop in our city. i heard that they have an ointement that help to remove moles.but i think if it's due to blade then i don't know whether they can remove that or not.anyway if it's not very visible then dont worry 'bout it

Its more than likely drainage from the incision under the scar tissue, possibly with a little infection. Have your doctor look at it. S/he will probably just drain it and possibly give you an  antibiotic. Probably nothing to worry about but if its not going away you should have someone check it out. If there is continuing infection under the scar tissue it could go systemic and that would put your vital organs at risk.

You don't. You can help minimize them while the injury is healing, but once you have a scar, they are with you forever. Over time (a lomg time) they may become less noticeable, but that's about it.\n\nPS - Cocoa butter, fish oil, etc etc etc don't work. I've tried it all.

Yea, but don't expect it to come out perfect, the shape of the scar will still show. You may want to think of a picture where you can integrate the scar. Good luck.

Since keloids are a build-up of scar material, try some Maderma cream. It may not take it all away, but it should minimize the looks of it.

injuries just under the skin can also sometimes not leave scars, but this is variable, one big factor is also infection, keep it clean and dry, use moisturisers on the skin, ensure it does not get infected, good luck

no. you have to go to the dr and they use a type of medical sand paper to scrap or remove the marks by sanding them down. other then bleaching them.

Clean the wound out thoroughly, and I mean CLEAN. Get in there, scrub out the wound.\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply a liberal amount of antiseptic cream, something like Neosporin. Then cover the wound with a non-stick gauze dressing. Tape it in place, or cover it with elastic netting that you can get at your local surgical supply store. Clean and redress the wound 2-3 times a day.\n\n-or-\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply the neosporin and cover the wound with Tegaderm. It's a unique sort of dressing that completely seals off the wound, yet allows it to breathe. If applied correctly, you can go for days without changing the bandage (and you can even take a shower with it on).\n\nOnce your wound has completely healed, you can use vitamin b gel to help minimize the scarring.

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.......

it is more likely to scar if you try to get rid of it yourself.\nhave a doctor perform the excision and stitching. then use "Mederma" \nit is an anti-scar ointment you can get at any drug store. it really works!

There isn't one known, at this time.\n\nGetting an adequate supply of protein in your diet (good quality protein) will provide the necessary building blocks.\n\nIt's not going to do diddly for the depressed scars.  Those are the product of a normal reparative process that didn't quite get the tissue back to normal.  You might consider seeing if a plastic surgeon will inject a little collagen in the area, if it's cosmetically embarassing, but I'm toting a pretty significant number of scars, most of 'em covered by hair or clothing, and the visible ones, no one seems to notice.

no creams... sorry. But there is one option if you are not afraid of needles. Your doctor can inject a very low dose steroids directly into the scar and this stops the cells from growing and sometimes it even brings it back to normal... It's up to you to decide if it's worth a try... good luck!

I've had a couple of moles removed for testing because of a family history of skin cancer.  None of them were lasered. They were cut completely out down to the root--the doctor made a kind of cone-shaped incision and then put in lots of tiny invisible stitches. (Local anesthesia.)  The scar is red for a few months and then fades to almost nothing--you can see the scar in just the right light and angle but other than that I don't even need make-up to cover it.\nI had another one that had to be cauterized but it wasn't on my face--that made an ugly scar and 15 years later it's still white and puckered and shiny although not as prominent.\nDefinitely ask your surgeon about different options for removing the mole and what kinds of scars they will leave. It depends on your skin type too--my skin tends to scar easily and make those lumpy "keloid" scars so I have to be very careful about surgery and injury.

My friend had a tattoo removed...it's very painful! but it is effective in removing the tattoo image... however there is a scar.

You can go to a doctor and have it burnt off or froze off.  My mom doesn't have a scar and she had hers burnt off.  But that was a mole on her back.  A plastic surgeon can work wonders for all areas though!

If you have the type of skin the keloids, then a plastic surgeon can do a revision of the scar.  You can then go back for steroid injections to keep that scar from keloiding.  Other than that there is nothing that can be done for it.
