does pure vitamin e oil help fade red/purple dicolorations/scars?

Vitamin K might be better for that.  It's typically used for spider veins and to reduce redness.\n\nOf course you can never go wrong with E on the skin.

use Vitamin E enriched creams or lotions. Vitamin E helps in reducing stretch marks.

Try a cream from AVON called Banishing cream. It lightens skin discolorations.

MissBehave is right.  I would go a step further and get a very concentrated form of Vitamin E.  I get 1000 iu capsules, stick a pin in it, and place the oil on the scar daily.  One capsule lasts 2 days.  Go to a wholesale club and get them cheap.

You can try vitamin e oil.  It will not totally remove large scars but, it will shrink them.  It helps small scars tremendously

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 think chicken-pox scars are the kind that are permanent. But using vitamin E can't hurt.

i would go with none. Vit E is put on the skin, (scars) and this supposed to reduce the visibility of the scar (no real evidence has proved this). Vit E is an antioxidant for fats. Vit A helps with eye sight and fat storage. The best way for Vitamins to be absorbed is through the intestines, they are specially designed to absorb nutrients.

Well my grandma told me putting lemon on them helps. I don't really have that problem but my friend tried it and it worked pretty good. But you can try to find out what it is in the lemon that fades the dark stains and buy a cream with the same thing. Because i don't think u want to put lemon on. Probably some pigment fading cream for dark spots sking brightner will work too.

Apply vitamin E (capsule) on scar about once a day and take 16000 IU of Vitamin A, 400 IU of Vitamin E, and a Vitamin B-Complex.

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's not possible to completely get rid of stretch marks, but you can lighten them using vitamin E oil or cocoa butter.

Vitamin E oil, 28,000 IUs, available at a drug store or market.\n\nI used a men's triple blade razor like a Bic disposable to shave my legs.  I got a gash like you wouldn't believe.  When I went to get my pedicure, Lady told me to use Vitamin E oil.  I bought it from the health food store next door, and it worked.  No scar, it healed quickly and no bruise.\n\nI have been using it since.

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.

Abigail B dispensed goot advice.  aloe helps too.  if you buy it OTC, make sure it is 100% aloe w/ NO ALCHOL.\n\nwhen it isn't raw to the touch, continue applying aloe and vitamin K cream to speed healing and prevent scarring.\n\ngood luck and be more careful next time?  ♥

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.

Vitamin E is very good for healing wounds, and scars
