You might want to try getting a prescription for retin-a microb. Its an acne medication but it really works well for removing the redness from scars because it helps your skin reform and build up.
Things you can buy over the counter are usually pretty pointless.. if the scars are big you might also try talking to a dermatoogist (which you will need to do anyways to get the retin-a).
Dermatologist see scars all day long and know how to treat them, some serious treatments include lasering them away. Usually if the scar is red you still have a chance to minimize it, it gets harder when it turns white.
hope this helps!

You can try Mederma for Scars. I had cancer in the neck and needed surgery to get it removed and it looked like someone slit my throat open. I used mederma and you can barely see it. Also, maybe try a makeup...
If you look at my picture can you tell i have any flaws? Underneath that makeup I have the most hideous DEEP scars from acne. . I use a makeup called DERMABLEND. You buy the makeup (variety of shades) you can buy a dark and one light to mix together to find your shade, that's what I do.. then you buy the setting powder which is necessary to use after the makeup. Its very easy to apply, just apply on your face, use the setting powder and brush off. Its simply just wonderful. Just try it, i know you will love it. It covers anything from acne, scars, blemishes, stretchmarks, discoloration,pigmentation, birthmarks, even tattoos, and more. Stays on up to 16 hours. Give it try. Its not just makeup, its leg and body cover as well. :-)Good Luck!

they have a product that you can get over the counter at walgreens or walmart called Mederma it's a product that helps the scars diminish over time. depending how new the scars are the better it works, the older they are it will work some just not as much. Also don't get in the sun too much without protection, they can burn easily and make them scar worse.

See a Dermatoligist. They will be your hero if you do!
For something not prescription, try Mederma, if the scars are new it should only take a few weeks to clear them up!
