I have some nasty scars on my arms and torso from when I was a kid and was wondering if there are any creams, procedures etc. that could lessen or remove them? Thank you.

Scars are marks left on the skin after surface injury or wound, it is the body's response of healing.
Scars are tissues that replace the normal skin after destruction of some dermis; it is a natural part of healing process. There are different degrees of scars depending on the depth and size of the wound, age, gender, genetics and ethnic.
How to Cure Scars with Natural Treatments:
Smear Vitamin E Oil Caplets on the scarred area.
Smear some tea tree oil on the scar to help it heal faster.
Put 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil on a cotton ball and apply on scar.
Blanch green tea, soak a cotton ball and apply on the scar to help it heal.
Mix Aloe Vera and vitamin E gel caplets and apply to the scar.
Rub honey on the scar as often as you can to make it heal.
Smear any oil on the scar and massage to help it heal
Rub some olive oil on scars 2-3 times a day
For acne scars: Mix 1 tablespoon of sour cream ( 0% fat for oily face), 1 tablespoon of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of grind oatmeal and 3-4 drops of lemon juice. Apply on face, leave for 10 minutes and wash off.

I had a biology teacher in 9th grade in France that swore months (and months) of rubbing that liquid inside of a Vitamin E tablet onto his scar (from jumping over razor wire as a kid and getting snagged or something) lessened it. I expect that has to be cheaper than plastic surgery.
