I heard that dmso or msm cream will soften or get rid of scar tissue, I have to get into the skin about a 1/2 inch to get to it, any suggestions. Thank you and God Bless.

Dear Kato,
All i can do is share a bit of my story with you. I have very deep burn scars on my legs - it happened about 9 years ago.
I have had a skin graft(Not success-full).
I use vitamin e oil on the scars to keep them soft because it can become very painful if i don't keep it soft.
I WAS TOLD BY MY GP THAT LASER TREATMENT CAN GREATLY HELP IMPROVE THE LOOK OF THE SCARS.
IT IS ALSO MORE EFFECTIVE ON NEW SCARS.
I dont know where you have scars - as i said, mine is on my legs so i tend to wear trousers more often than I do dresses.
However, i love beautiful sandals and wear sandals and dresses in summer time if i feel like it.
I dont allow the scars to control my life.
WISHING YOU THE BEST.

look for a cream at the local grocery store called mothers friend, it is for stretch marks mainly, but after i has surgery it was RX to me and it was great! It comes in a small round canister with a light blue-green label and costs about $8-11 dollars.

I have heard that Vitamin E gel is good.
