I have some scars. one one on each front of my ankle, and a few surrounding the right one. How do i remove/fade/lessen them? I'm going to Florida in 2 weeks, and that means BATHING SUITS, BATHING SUITS, BATHING SUITS, and otherwise revealing stuff. Can i have some home remedies or pharmacy-bought creams/potions/etc. that will work.

here's a few that i've heard good things about :
1. maderma (worked wonders on my sisters stretch marks)
2. palmers cocoa butter (really well on a scar i had on my knee and it softened my skin a lot )
3. Syprex ( healed some acne scaring i had from my adolescent years)
4. vitamin E
2 weeks may not be enough time for these to heal completely however if you start using these the scars will appear significantly lighter, possibly in time for your trip. luck! :)

Mederma works but you are going to need longer than 2 weeks. It just depends on the severity of the cuts. When all else fails try getting a water resistant concealer and keep it on hand.

Mederma is a wonderful scar reducing product!

pumpkin peel every 2 weeks for exfoliations then daily a mixture of sea kelp, dermagen, nicaiamide and asorbic acid daily
DO NOT use any high priced strivectin creams, their claims are bogus.

try some neosporen or penecilen. neosporen reduces the scar and penecilen reduces the pain. it works for me. hope this helps!!!
