How it works\n\nPolysporin* Scar Solution* uses clinically proven silicone sheet technology, the same technology used for years by plastic surgeons and burn centres, to help make old and new scars a more natural colour and reduce their size by mimicking the natural barrier function of normal, healthy skin.\n\ni used to market earlier , it really helps..

tell him to keep neosporin and a band aid on it, or put vitamin E on it or natural aloe vera gel, these things promote healing and not a lot of scarring

I would recommend 2 products:\n\n1. Selenium Sulfide Shampoo (example: Selsun Blue and others) or Coal Tar Shampoo (example: Neutrogena T-Gel and others)\n\n2: Scalpicin anti itch solution as needed for itching.

well.. if the scars are on your face, i recommend ProActive. it does a great job of smoothing the skin and removing old scars on the face. also, try to put neosporin on the cut as soon as you get it.\n\n\nBUT THE ONE THING MY MOM SWEARS BY FOR SCARS IS COCOA BUTTER! she piles it on her scars.. and it does work!

Dry brush with a loofa or something like it before you shower.  Brush in all different directions over the scar.  When you get out of the shower, put lotion on it and massage the skin.  Pick up the skin and roll it between your fingers and rub it briskly again in all directions.  Brushing and massaging the skin will supposedly encourage the skin to form normal skin cells instead of scar cells, so this takes a long time, but eventually your scars should fade.

Curad scar therapy works really well.  There are other brands too - check with your pharmacist.  Mederma is also good as an ointment.\n\nVitamin E can work well.  I would not suggest using neat Vitamin E oil, or directly from a capsule.  I have had patients use it on surgical incisions (4-6 weeks old) and it really irritated them, made things red and itchy.  If you use Vitamin E in a moisturizer cream and work it into the scar, the massage and cream combine effects.  Try working in small semi-circles away from the scar - this will help to stretch it better.

I dont know what "it" is that is telling you not to put anything on... so lets ignore that.\nFirst of all. Begin drinking water. You need lots of fluids to help heal your skin. Don't drink alot of pop or things containing caffine. Water is the best. Use lotion. Something with aloe is best. In the future try to keep some aloe vera gel in the refrigerator and use it often when you are burned... for any kind of burn and you will be glad you did. Try not to wear constricting clothes or anything with straps that will irritate your skin. If you can go to the store get some aloe gel, if you can't find that use something that has collodial oatmeal in it. Even suave has that for 2 bux. You will appreciate that when it begins to itch in a few days. Good luck and use sunscreen next time.

Ask your doctor about something called Stievamycin. It will help peel away the skin over night. it takes about 4 months to get rid of all the scars. \n\ntip: if you do use it, use plenty of moisterizer in the morning and dont over apply it.

I itch all the time. And I've scratched until it bled, and keep scratching after that. It's inside and scratching doesn't really help. I sympathize because itching makes life miserable.\n\nIf the itch is caused from something on the top of the skin (bug bite, irritation, etc.) I use a product call Itch-X. It's the best product for itching I've ever found. If you've already scratched it a bit raw, then it burns and stings like crazy when you put it on, then the itching, burning, stinging stops immediately. Ahhhhh! It's the best product I've ever found. I find it at Walgreens, or you can look it up on the internet and see where they sell it in your area.\n\nIf it itches under the skin and a topical wouldn't help, put an ice pack on it. The cold will stop the itching. I've never had it to fail. Heat will make it itch more, and ice will stop it.\n\nGood luck.

Tea tree oil will help them shink as well as some of those scar patches you can get from the drug store or dermatologist but if you really want them to go away you might have to deal with cortisone injections or lasers

ProActive has really worked for me, and it will help with new breakouts.  Once you get this under control, microdermabrasion will help with the scarring. Stay out of the sun, too. That will make scars worse. Taking Vitamin C and zinc will help  your body repair itself, too.\nBest wishes

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/stretchmarks

I have the same thing. I found that scar gel is very helpful. You can find it any pharmacy. Apply it for 2 months (or follow the instructions). They shoud disappear in time.

Use a good moisturizing lotion. Also, if you use Dove body wash in the tub or shower, it helps tremendously. The best lotion that I have ever used is by Australian Gold, and it's called "After Tan Moisturizer." (formerly known as Moisture Lock). Another good one is Lubraderm, and it's less expensive. \n\nYou also need to take into consideration...is the dry skin due to weather, or are you having an allergic reaction to something? If it's due to the weather, then the products that I mentioned above is the way to go. If it's due to allergies of some sort, Benedryl has a good cream that will get rid of the itchy's.\n\nI have extremely dry skin because I am diabetic. As long as I keep lotion on, I am fine. I hope this helps!

It could be a symptom of Hepatitis or something called Lichens Planus (I think I spelled that right). Make and appointment right away to see a Dermatologist so you can be properly diagnosed and hopefully get some medication to get rid of the itch. The longer you wait and the more you scratch, it could leave really bad scars that can take up to 2 years to fade away.

putting a paste of baking soda and water on the sites will help stop the stinging, or you can rub apple cider vinegar on the sites. put aloe vera on the sites after the stinging subsides for fast healing.

Vinegar will help take the sting out of a sunburn or you can use coffee grounds. For modern days now use Alvera lotion
