What is the best way to get rid of scars and keep things from scaring?

Question

Just want to know the best way to get rid of scars and keep things from scarring? Best medicines or creams u can buy anything that can help.

Answer 1

There are several over the counter medications that you can buy, such as Mederma. These are found near the bandaides and neosporin, which can also help reduce scarring. Some people are allergic to neosporin though, and it can cause weird reactions. I've also been told by a professional peircer that rubbing tea tree oil (also found near the bandaides) on scars every night can soften them. Keeping your skin soft and moisturized with lotion containing shea butter and vitamin e can also help prevent scarring. You may also want to make sure that you take a daily multivitamin and zinc and vitamin b complex supplements, and get plenty of "good fats" in your diet, such as nuts, fish, and eggs that are enriched with Omega fatty acids.

Answer 2

aloe vera. I don't mean that crap they sell in stores I mean getting an actual plant that you can cut peel and use the extract from. That has prevented some pretty nasty scars.

Also, cocoa butter is good to a point.

My brother, literally, stopped a skateboard with the side of his face once and took the skin off in the process. Which could have left an ugly scar. We cleaned the wound peeled an aloe leaf open and put it on his face. Once it began to heal we kept applying the aloe each day by the time it was completely healed there was no scar.

Just remember that some scars don't go away.

Answer 3

To prevent scaring form a wound is to keep the wound dressed and clean. The dressing helps retain moisture and infection. Ointment like neosporin also helps before applying the dressing.
If ti is a large wound seek professional medical attention.
Some scars may not completely dissapperar but they can fade with time. Mederma for scars works, but for large scars, plastic surgery (usually elective) won't be covered by insureance unless it incapacitates the affected body part from functioning properly, if you feel that is nessecary, consult your regular doctor/physician first about options. Get 2 referals in order to get 2 opinions from 2 plastic surgeons.

Answer 4

If you have acne: Put really hot water in a bowl and put your face in the steem. wait 10 minutes, then your acne is all open, so then put ice on all of the acne. Why this helps?: Steem is hot, wich makes your acne open up, and the ice is cold, wich makes the acne close without dirt in it. If you have acne scars;The cheap way: Lemon and Honey. Use both, BUT NOT MIXED and leave it on the scar's for 15 minutes. do that everyday (1 a day)

Answer 5

Put vitamin E oil on the scar (make sure the wound is healed) and cover with a band-aid and leave on overnight. Repeat as often as you need to. Darker scars or ones that you've had for a while will take longer to go away.

Answer 6

Once you have a scar you will have it for life. You might be able to lighten it a little with some topical creams, but other than that you are stuck with it. To prevent scars, depending on what you are talking about, there are many kinds. Stretch mark scars on both male and female are from the skin breaking, either your body grew quickly and your skin wasnt prepared to stretch with it, so it breaks. Same if you are overwieght, your body is stretching beyond its means, and breaks causing stretchmark scars. Try vitamin E cream, Aloe Vera, or anything natural.

Answer 7

We can actually cover up the wounds just in the stage of getting into scars by applying a little bit of honey on it.Trust me honey works(on personal experinence),try it out once but on hair,it can also bleach so be careful.

Answer 8

I would try maderma , it's made especially for scar's . You can proabally buy it at any CVS, or Right Aid. To keep cut's and scratche's from scarring , don't pick off the scab...

Answer 9

Cocoa Butter is amazing when it comes to scars or stretchmarks or anything like that. And even to keep things from scaring, like put it on there befoer it has the chance to. good luck.

Answer 10

Creme De La Mer was designed for Burn victims.I wish I could afford to try it and tell you it works. Cocoa Butter and that other stuff never worked for me. I never tried the new scar stuff that has onion extract in it.
