How do you get rid of scars?

Asked by crazy_twilight_chick (200points) March 17th, 2010

Yesterday, I was really bored & kind of mad so I carved the word “DIE” on my arm and now I don’t know how to get rid of hat scar. What do I do?

What did you do with the word “die”?

…Interesting scar. Try a scar removal cream like Mederma. You can get it at any pharmacy, even Walmart. It worked well for my girlfriend and a buddy of mine, and it should work for you too.

@rangerr: What is your problem with me? I haven’t done anything to you!

Add a “t” at the end; you’re golden.

Palmer’s Coco Butter. In about a month the scar should be completely gone. You could also mix treatments like Mederma and there are tons of skin toning body washes and stuff. Like creme’ ribbons skin toning body wash. Works pretty well. And a bunch of stuff in pharmacies in the scar section will probably work. But I would recommend the body wash and the Palmer’s because I have tried them and they work. I also have tried Mederma but nothing seemed to happen. Probably because the bottle is so tiny. There isn’t enough product in that tiny mederma bottle. But the coco butter and body wash should last you at least a year unless you go crazy with it.

I’ve been using bio oil, but to be honest, I never use it consistently enough to know if it actually works. However, my scars are old and healed, so I have little faith. As yours is relatively new, I’d suggest trying it – or the cocoa butter. Massgae either in 2–3 times a day. You should be right as rain in no time. Good luck :)

Vitamin E oil. (As long as they are not too deep)

you should’ve put ‘awesome’ instead

I used this concoction when I had bleeding wounds from a flea infestation in my house (thanks to a very stressed out cat):

1 capsule Vitamin E
1.5 tsps aloe vera gel
2 tsp carrier oil or nivea cream (optional)

Break capsule into the gel and cream if using. Mix and spread on wound. Use for about a month. Could be longer as I don’t know how deep your scar is.

@Everyone: Thank You so much for the advice. I just wanted to let you guys know that ‘ve started using Mederma & now the scar isn’t as noticible as it was when I first did it. Thanks everyone!

:D
