I have several light colored scars on my arms. They're very noticable because of my skin tone and several people have pointed them out. I was wondering if there was any way I could get rid of them or make them less noticable. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If they are scars from recent injury, they will become less noticeable in time. If they are old scars your medical option is laser therapy, talk to your doctor. But keep in mind, if the scars are obvious because of your skin color, there maybe nothing that can be done because procedures themselves leave scars. If that is the case, try a cosmetic option. Go to your local Mall, to one of the big cosmetic dealers, talk to their head cosmetician. They will be able to show you the best products to use and how to use them properly.

Vitamin E is excellent for scars, do make sure you do not have any allergies by testing a small spot on your skin. Rub the vitamin E oil or lotion twice a day on the scars & your scars will start shrinking & becoming smoother. Good luck. It is too bad that people only notice your scars, they should notice the great person behind the scars. Don't let them get to you, you are beautiful no matter what!!!

Bio oil. Is a little miracle in a jar. Just buy it from your chemist. Is about $15 AUD. I have been using it on my stretch marks and they are disappearing! Works for scars aswell. Good luck!

scar serum works really well. haha but dont try what the first person said.. it only works right when you first get cut and during the healing process. by now it wont do you any good. hope you find one that works best for you. good luck =)

Go to a GNC store or to the derma-e website, and get some scar gel by derma e.

I've heard that rosehip oil makes scarring fade. I got it at a chemist.

they have certain creams you can buy at a drug store but i never tried so i dont know if they work good but the best way if you have a docter ask him or her if there is a cream out there they can give you
