I had surgery when I was 3 months old. The scars are under my bikini line, so they were never tanned. Recently, I needed a full-body tan, so I went to tanning beds. Everything tanned but the scars, and it only made them show up brighter white and more noticeable than before. However, my brother put me onto this lotion. It's by Palmer's, and it has done a great job fading a scar of his. You should definitely try it.

Sorry, there are no wonder drugs, ointments or vitamins...
Yet, there are several techniques that can help (none will completely erase a scar):
Dermabrasion:
this involves using specialized medical equipment to remove the top layers of the skin. It has had good success for scars caused by acne, chickenpox, tattoos, and surgery.
Laser resurfacing:
this technique involves using high energy light to burn away unwanted, damaged skin.
Collagen injections:
this involves a process through which scar tissue is replaced by small pieces of normal skin.
Chemical peels:
these involve smoothing a scar by removing the top layer of skin with a chemical solution.
Talk with your dermatologist to determine which method might work best for you.

There are pregnancy gels/creams that you can rub over your stomach while it stretches that will kep it from creating marks, I have heard that to use this on new scar tissue will decrease the chance of a noticeable scar, however since its been a few months I'm not sure if this will work for you.

An over the counter skin medicine called Maderma.
Just go ask for it at a pharmacy and read it. Try it, and the scar will appear less noticeable. But you must put it on everyday.
also, buy the vitamin E gell tablets. Puncture one every time you get out of the shower and rub the liquid directly on it.

I've heard that if you rub "aloe" gel the scars tend to disappear.
It's a miraculous plant, but I really don't know if it grows in England, I'm from Argentina.

The only product availble, that I am aware of is called Mederma, I've not used it myself, but there are those that recommend it.
I have used vitamin E oil on some scars with good results.

I truly don't know the name of it. Maybe mederna?? Go to CVS or Walgreens and tell them you are looking for scar cream. Its expensive like $30 a tube maybe $20 but it works.

nope, once you get them, you pretty much got them
some cosmetic products can 'help' but the difference is so miniscule
plastic surgeons can help with reeeeeeeally bad scars sometimes (not all the time)
but scars are cool, people are too uptight about having them

You may want to try Helichrysum essential oil. It is supposed to have scar reducing properties.
