Aloe is only good when you apply it directly to the skin. Vit E also work well for fresh scar. For old scar (more than 3months old), try Centica 10g from a pharmacy. Much cheaper than other branded scar remover, about US$2 only per tube of 10g.

I tried Mederma on a 2" scar from surgery and it did...basically nothing! My wife swears by vitamin E and tho' it seems to work for her, I like my scars! Maybe it's a guy thing...or I'm just plain nuts! :P

You could try Vitamin E oil... Whats more important than trying to make it look better, is to look at it as a reminder of how lucky you are to be able to worry about something as trivial (although it doesnt seem trivial) as a scar:-) Good luck!

A doctor told me to poke a hole in a vitamin E capsule and rub the oil on the scar. When the wound first heals, do it often. It won't go away completely but depending on how bad it is, maybe it will lighten so it can hardly be seen.

I had an infected navel piercing. You need to take the piercing out. And if you can wash the infected area with dial anti-bacterial soap. Do not  use peroxide...this can cause Keloids(raised scar tissue) to develop. If you can put something like neosporin on it and leave it uncovered for a few days. It should heal up in a few days.

Why on earth have u been branded?  And most likely yes.  If you dont want it to scar, I would suggest Aloe, vitamine E, and after it heals shea butter, and cocoa butter.  What happened?

Go to the dermatologist--or better yet a plastic surgeon who specializes in skin.  Unfortunately, there is no topical cream that will take away a scar. Sorry, there just isn't.\n\nBut they have techniques now in plastic surgery/dermatology like dermabrasion and 'punch-hole" technique.\n\nI will tell U right now, don't waste your money on laser surgery.\nit costs a lot and the results are not nearly as good or worth what you payed for. \n\nYou need to see a plastic surgeon who does work with skin afflictions like pock marks.   \nOnly a plastic surgeon can do a punch-hole method, they literally take the scar out and add skin to fill the spot then dermabrasion over it to even it out.  \nOr they can inject it with silicone. or a collagen filler.

Keliods and hyoertropic scarring is a scar combination build up of both skin cells and connective tissue that build up and scab over the wound.  these are known as fibroblasts. With keloid scarring, the fibroblasts keep growing, hence you get red, raised, often tender scarring.  This is due to an over abundance of collagen in th scar itself. \n There may even be a genetic connection.  This is common especially in dark toned people, and dark haired people, but can happen to anyone.\n  The prevention of keloids can  be as simple as don't gain the scar, but that isn't what your after. Treatments for keloids range from  laser surgugical removal, compression bandaging,  steroidal use, and silicone patches that could be cut into little circles with a pierced middle to where with your earrings. Some suggest that treatments such as vitamin and herbal immune sustaining suppliments such as vitamin E, evening primrose oil caps, a good b-complex and of course, vitamin C.  Hydrating yourself with water and juice will also promote healthy tissue. Massage to bring about good blood flow is also an option. \n There is a new topical homeopathic ointment called ELICINA® is a unique skin regenerating substance proven effective for the treatment of all types of scars. It stops itching, softens and helps to remove keloid scars and reduce pitted or ice pick scars. It also prevents scarring and acts as a natural remedy for acne.\n\n \n\nElicina is not a man made drug, pharmaceutical or medicine. It is gathered from the secretions left on his paths by the Chilean snail Helix Aspersa Müller. The very same he uses to quickly regenerate his own shell and skin when damaged. After years of proven effects, scientific validation and the invention of a patented process to make it into a topical cream, now presented as a natural remedy for acne and scars. \n\nThe secret of Elicina® lies in it's seven natural bio-available ingredients. They are: Natural Antibiotics, Glycolic Acid. Allantoin and Peptides (amino-acid chains that are parts of proteins and trigger skin cell reproduction and replacement of damaged cells), Collagen, Elastin, and Vitamins. All in a natural form, and combined in one unique and balanced substance by nature's wisdom itself.\nCheck out my source info and really do some research onine.  happy piercing

it will eventually fill up with scar tissue, just stick to the same doctors who did the procedure, they may ask you to follow with a wound specialist nurse too, good luck

maderma really helps to get rid of scars its a cream. its not the cheapest but a little goes a long way.

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!

What is your race...that is a good thing to know.  Those from the Mediterranean countries and those from the black race seem to get these more often.  Keloids are an aggressive form of scar formation when the body gets 'injured' (pierced, in your case).  Removing them causes more scar tissue, thus bigger keloids.  You may go from a pea sized to a cabbage sized.  (Not likely, but you get the picture).\nRemover them yourself?  I hope that you do not entertain that thought becuase of the trouble that you may get yourself into...I am sorry to say, but you need a plastics guy to get you the most cosmetic appealing removal, and they will tell you that there is no guarantee.\nNo more piercings for you.  You will only propigate more keloids.

quite variable, depends on how big and where the scars are and how they respond to the treatment, just talk to a dermatologist before you start the treatment, good luck

Try Neosporin. If you treat it quickly I've found that it wont scar as bad. If it does leave a scar, use cocoa butter on a daily basis, which should lighten it up

one of the best for any type scars is castor oil rubbed into the scar. don't drink it rub it into scar
