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.

mederma, and/or vitamin E oil...it takes time for scars to heal. time is harder to take for the face, but it will get better!!!

Application of hydrogen peroxide has been proven to reduce the appearance of scars in some people.\n\nBut you don't have to fool around with bottles of hydrogen peroxide and cotton balls. Take a walk down the Band-Aid aisle of your neighborhood pharmacy. You'll probably find a product similar to a Band-Aid that sticks little peroxide gel pads over the scars. Follow the directions.

I dont think you can get rid of scars overnight, try one of those home microdermabrasion kits to smooth out your face.\n\nanyways, check out the message boards on Acne.org, very helpful.

Plastic surgery can reduce some kinds of scars on the face. It depends on the type of scar and it's location.

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

Besides surgery vitamin E and Collagen elastin are great ways to get rid of scars over time...There is also a product called Scar-X that I have used that is great. If you have something coming up you may consider a waterproof makeup to cover it up. You can go to your local Meryl Norman store for complete matching to your skin color and they have great hypoallergenic products!

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!

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.

Egg whites plus a few drops of rosehip oil, lavender oil, wheat germ oil, and or cocoa butter mixed in a a dixie cup sized cup of apple cider vinegar when you have 30 minutes to leave it on will help lighten and heal scars. \n\nDrink 6-8 glasses of clean water each day to give your skin the fluids it needs to heal itself.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

Any cream which has aloe and vitE in it should help to get rid of scars. The reason why it turns black is due to the skin specialities. Some people have dark scars and some people have lighter scars. When you get a cut or something that may cause scars. Take very good care of it. Don't pick at the wound. When the wound is completely healed. Buy any herbal or vitE-Aloe cream and apply regularly to it. It will disappear. I have a scar on my wrist (from a burn)which used to be very dark, now is almost invisible. \nAlso Lacto calamine lotion or calamine lotion (it has zinc in it) is very good for the scars.\nthere are products like mother of pearl by herb secret and truderm scar cream.\nDon't bleach -- it may bleach the skin around it and make ugly patches.

I read an article that putting a small piece of duct tape on the wart will eventually get rid of it.  It is supposed to activate your body to fight the wart, and the result of this method is less scars.

Well.  What you want to do is make sure to use sensitive skin cleanser, like olay or dove.\nThen you want to just use petrolium jelly, it works wonders, is cheap and is by far the best mother nature moisturizer on the planet!\nIt plumps your skin up and reduces scars and scarring.\nThen you want to make sure you are taking plenty of vitamins.\nMake sure you are taking a multi vitamin without iodine--very important, and then also take a B complex, Omega 3 fatty acid, Alpha lipoic acid, vit E, Zinc, fiber, and drink it with plenty of water every single day.  Take a melatonin pill before you go to sleep- a natural vitamin and will help you get your rest, your skin repairs mostly while you are sleeping.\n\nUse alcohol only on infected spots of your face when needed and use tea tree oil as an antibacterial -- Which they say is just as effective as benzoil peroxide and is 100% natural.\nGood luck.

Tip 1:\nMix ½ tspn of Baking soda in 1 glass of water. Sponge the person with this. When soda dries on the skin it controls the itchiness and irritation.\n\nTip 2:\nPure honey smeared on the scabs helps in clearing up scars.\n\nTip 3:\nApplication of Vitamin E oil helps and has a healing effect. The scars fade away very quickly.
