outside of cosmetic surgery, there is no way of permanent removal of scars.
you can try mederma. it's a cream that's designed to minimize the appearance of scars and is sold at any local drugstore.
using lotion with cocoa butter in it might help as well

Scars are usually ours to keep. The best way is to treat them while they heal.
I also had bad itching from bug bites and rashes last year. You need to use some vitamin E cream while those heal and stop scratching them.
Try some now and a tan wil help too.

You can't get rid of scars but you can lessen their appearance. Try some aloe vera or coca butta. There are also some creams out there that reduces the appearance of scars and blemishes significantly.

I'm a nurse and cocoa butter is the very best thing to use before seeing a dermatologist. Take care

Try using an exfoliator daily and cocoa butter cream or a fading cream.
