I've found that using a cocoa butter lotion has worked weel in lightening my scars. There is also a lightening product called Nadolina which has worked well from the scars on my face. Raised scars generally don't fade, simply shrink with time. You could also try a body dremabrasion. I use micro dremabrasion for my face and this is probably one of the more effective ways to removes scaring. It has helped with my face and other scars on my body.

Aloe. Try a lotion that is mostly aloe. I had a really bad sunburn, REALLY bad from head to toe when I was 14, kept me up for like 2 days straight. Didn't get any relief until I put aloe all over my body. Instant relief and it went away and healed SO quick I was amazed. Buy an aloe plant too. They are good for when you get a burn on your finger or a cut, you can break the leave in half and inside it's full of pure aloe, and it's pretty cool. It has pretty cool healing powers.

Try 'Palmer's Scar Serum, Vitamin E'. You can buy it online and it's not very expensive. I used it for chickenpox scars and it works quite well over time.\n\nYou should talk to your doctor and they may be able to perscribe something. My sister in law was put on a heavy course of vitamin tablets by her doctor and it helped her. \n\ngood luck.

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

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.

Mederma worked great on my face scar.  Plus, my doctor said to rub the scar while it's still pink (relativley new), I rub my scars w/Mederma or Vitamin E cream.  The rubbing makes them flatten out when they turn white.  So they are not one of those pooched up scars (it you tend to get that kind).

Well, you can't really make it go away faster since it is a biologically regulated process, but certain things can help alleviate the process.\n\nDrink lots of water\nGet enough vitamin D and E in your diet.\nAvoid strenuous exercise\nAvoid unnecessary sun exposure\n\nAnd of course, lotions like calamine and aloe can help the healing process.  Just be sure to wear sunblock when you're out in Palm Springs, eh?

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!

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 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.

I'm thinking that the best alternative solution is to see an herbalist or a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert. My specialty is in aromatherapy and essential oils to treat problems, and the best thing I can think of is to try and get Lavender oil and use it. Lavender has been showing signs in recent studies to lessen scar tissue and possibly totally reverse it, but this isn't hard-core facts just what the latest studies show. If you're looking for a place to buy the oil in an organic form (which for anytime you apply an essential oil or herb product to the body, you should always use organic products to prevent bad reactions to it.) If you go to the website  https://www.youngliving.org/Gramora  you can purchase organic essential oils. This is the place I get all my stuff from, also if you have anymore questions on this e-mail me at K_Bianconi@yahoo.com Hope this helps you.
