you must have picked at them when they were itchy
they will fade some but will not completely go away
you may have to use makeup to cover the ones on your face

Cocoa butter will just moisturize your skin. You need to slough off the old skin ... the skin with the scarring ... and let new skin grow. The best way to do that is to use an alpha hydroxy product or an at home facial peel. I would start with a light alpha hydroxy product for a while because your skin may still be healing. If neither of these products work, see a dermatologist as they have stronger stuff. In the meantime, I would use Bare Minerals foundation to cover them up. I have a ruddy complexion normally and Bare Minerals is the only foundation I've found that covers it flawlessly without making it look like I'm wearing make-up. If it's too expensive for you, try ordering samples on eBay. You can usually get a generous sample for around $3.

There are some over the counter scar reducing creams like Mederma and Scarzone. They both work really well. I used the Mederma personally because I had a chicken Pox scar on my face and used it there for about a month. It reduced the visability of it very well. Hope it helps, Good Luck!!

Try going to your local drugstore and looking for the scare treatment known as "Mederma". It's about $30 on a good day. Sometime Neosporin works but the Mederma is a lot stronger. If the scars are bothering you that much, you should see a dermatologist and talk about having your scars permanetly removed by way of laser treatment. I hope I helped you!

I would suggest u get scar treatments like scar zone or mederma. It will take a while even with these treatments. You start showing signs of the scars going away in about 3 weeks. I really don't know what else to tell you than to try the scar treatments.

You can get them at wal-mart in the bandage section. They also have scar bandages too...
Hope this has helped :)

There's an oil from Andes called Rosa Mosqueta oil which is well known for treating scarring. it's ben featured in Sunday Times & Mail on Sunday.
Some health shops sell them (£9.99 for 20 ml) online from:

I would suggest bio oil, you can get it from boots, it's for scars and stretch marks. I don't think your scars will ever disappear completely but they will fade, you just have to be patient.

well if you have left the scabs alone, scaring is minimum, as for getting rid of the scars theres not much you can do, you can get creams and lotions but i don't think they work, treatment!!! (it worked for me) work on your confidence, feel beautyful and you will forget that they are there!!!
