What is the best way to fade/get rid of scars?

Question

I think I probably have over 100 scars on my legs from a few yrs ago. I can’t believe myself. I don’t know how I was so stupid, and now I have to deal with it in the from of scars all over my upper legs. The dumb thing is I wasn’t even “upset” when I did it. I would do it when I was bored...I liked to see how deep I could cut, and how much it’d bleed. But anyway, I really would like to get rid of them... :(
please help?

Answer 1

I have a large scar on my face from a dog bite 10 years ago. I tryed everything to make it go away, the thing that works the best is mederma patches. It faded my scar and it is almost completely gone! Make sure to use the name brand, the others don't work as well.

Answer 2

Some of the time, you can have the removed by lasers or by skin graphing(where they remove that skin and replace it with other skin). Another way to fade them is to use the Neosporin Scar Solution that I found at WalMart but could probally be found just about in any drugstore. I use it on my arm wear I have a big scar from where I broke my arm a few years ago. It really reduces the appearance of the existing scars. I would use this on the smaller scars.

Mederma From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is an orphan, as few or no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from other articles related to it. (December 2008) Mederma is an onion-extract-based topical gel produced by Merz Pharmaceuticals[1] of Greensboro, North Carolina. Mederma's marketing claims it can make scars "softer, smoother, and less noticeable"[2]. Most peer reviewed research articles dispute this however. One published peer reviewed research article indicated no statistically significant change in hypertrophic scar appearance from products of this type[3]. Though Mederma appears to do better than nothing at all[4], it does no better than cheap emollients which simply keep the skin moist.[5] However, a 1996 study into the therapeutic values of onion and garlic found that they may act as an anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic[6] and in 2002, researchers found that Mederma improved collagen organization after injury in rabbits.[7] [edit]Active Ingredient Allium cepa, trademarked by Mederma as Cepalin (not to be confused with cephalin) is the active content of mederma derived from an onion called Allium cepa Linn[7], a readily available[8] and highly researched bioflavonoid with antihistamine and antiproliferative effects on both normal and malignant cells. [edit]Full Ingredients Water (purified), PEG-4, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract, Xanthan Gum, Allantoin, Methylparaben, Sorbic Acid, Fragrance.[9] [edit]R

Answer 4

I think that some of the products people have mentioned are worth a try. I know that I have heard Bio Oil can help but it depends on how bad the scars are and it can take quite a few applications, apply it after a bath or shower too.
Otherwise you could try speaking to a specialist.

Answer 5

Everyone makes mistakes, don't beat up yourself over it. :) I know laser is a tried and true method. It's expensive but worth every penny.

Answer 6

Give Maderma a try, it works really well and u can get it at any drug store...and it's over the counter.

Answer 7

mederma, or you can use aloe but it has to be from the plant like you rip off a piece and open it ... maybe neurosporen

Answer 8
