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.

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

lotion, time or mederma\nMederma's a great product you can buy anywhere to soften and fade scars

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!

it'll depend on how bad they are.  There's this awesome product called Mederma that is like a cream you put on your scars, and it helps them go away.  you can get it over-the-counter at your pharmacy.

if you go to the chemist you should be able to get a bottle of bio-oil it removes scars but it will take a month before your scar will fade! best of luck xox (but hey for the time being remember that chicks dig scars it makes you look manly a bit ruff even)

well i hope that these are old scars and are not reocurring. scars will fade over time when the following actions are taken:\n*keep out of the sun (apply sunblock)\n*apply cross-friction massage to scar (look up tech. on web)\n*check pharmacy for scar treatment gels/pads (the best is  from the doctor, its called cicacare)\n*apply vitamin E oils and lotions often\n\nGood luck and I wish you well in your health.

soak a wash rag or hand towel in vodka, chill the cloth then apply to burned area.  Doesn't hurt to take a shot or two or vodka either!  JUST KIDDING.....this is an old treatment but really does help.

The very first step is to stop the heat. Do this by submerging the burned area in cold water as fast as you can. If it is on a part of the body that you cannot submerge, then immediately pour cold water over the area several times or rinse the area under a faucet or shower. Remove any clothing that is covering the area, then poor some more water onto the burn. Be careful not to pull a still-hot shirt over the head as this may burn the face. Getting cold water onto the area as fast as possible is the single most important factor in minimizing the burn damage. \nDo not use ice. This can cause cold damage to the skin, which may make the burn worse. \nThe next step is to continue the cold water for at least 20 minutes. Submerging the burn is best, but if you cannot, then either run it under cold water or apply cold water-soaked washcloths repeatedly. \nDo not put any butter, grease, or powder on the burn. \n\nAFTER THE INITIAL 20 MINUTES OF COLD WATER, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?\nPain relief. Give yourself a dose of ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil). This will both help the pain and decrease the inflammation. \nAssess the burn. There are several degrees of burn. \nFirst degree burns. This is simply redness, with no blistering. This type of burn never leaves a scar if properly treated. \nSecond degree burns. This is redness with blistering of the skin and is usually the most painful type on burn. With proper treatment, this type of burn almost never leaves a scar. NEVER pop the blisters. \nThird degree burns. This occurs when many layers of skin are actually burned away. Usually there is no blister because all the top layers of skin are gone. This burn usually does leave a scar, even with proper treatment.\n\nFacial burns. These almost always warrant a call to your doctor right away, unless it involves a very small area, such as the size of a quarter or smaller. \n\nFirst degree burns. For this type of burn, you do not need any prescription cream. You also do not need to use an antibiotic cream. One of the best treatments is aloe vera. Buy a bottle of green 100% aloe gel and apply several times a day. Be sure to buy 100% aloe. Some bottles will say, "made with pure aloe", but only contain 10% aloe. Read the ingredients. It should basically only say aloe. You can also use the juice from the leaf of an aloe plant if you have one. \n\nSecond degree burns. Treating this type of burn is more complex. You should check with your doctor about how to treat your second-degree burns. Here are some general guidelines that we recommend. Twice a day do the following: \nRinse the area with comfortable temperature water. Use a sink or bathtub faucet. The stream of water will remove germs, dead skin, and debris. \nAir dry. \nApply prescription burn cream called Silvadene (the generic equivalent is silver sulfadiazine). This is an antibiotic cream that also has excellent healing properties. This is an important part of burn treatment because it is very effective at preventing infection. You need to apply it aseptically; buy a package of sterile tongue depressors to use. Use a lot of cream, as if you were icing a cake. When you change the bandage, if all the cream is worn off or soaked in, then you didn't use enough. Silvadene contains silver, and you will notice a dark "tarnish" discoloration on the bandages. \nCover with a bandage. Your doctor may recommend a specific type of bandage. Typically a non-stick pad is placed over the cream (one brand name is Telfa), than a gauze is taped or wrapped around the area. \nStretch. If the burn is on an area of the body that stretches or pulls a lot (such as the palm of the hand or palm side of the fingers), the burned skin is at risk of healing too tight. This is called a contracture. In this type of area, it is very important to stretch this skin around ten times a day for one minute. \nCut away the blister – after the blister pops on it's own. Your doctor may cut the dead blistered skin away

Apply the Homeopathic Remedy CALENDULA OINTMENT to make the scars disappear once and for all without any side effects or complications. Nothing works better. \nTake care and God Bless you !

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 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.......

Cocoa butter, vit e oil or Mederma scar remover can be purchased at a drug store. Keep her out of the sun or well protected, this can darken the scars.  Good Luck

I'd say it depends on how badly burnt you got.  Get some aloe vera gel to cool the skin and and help it heal.  then get wheatgerm oil to rehydrate the skin.

If it's a big scab and you are worried about it scarring... Nesporin. Also every day, rub Vitamin E oil into it, and keep it out of the sun, if it's not in a place you can cover with sleeves or long pants, keep sunscreen on it twice a day! DON'T PICK AT IT!!!!
