I have A LOT of scars on both of my arms only because I can't help but pop the zits & since I have really sensitive skin I get scars easily. I need a home remedy thats fast and effective or even an over the counter medication but does anyone know what i should use?

If you really have a lot, an over-the-counter product will be price prohibitive and there is only a slim chance it will work...especially if your scars are not fairly new. There are no effective home remedies for scarring.
Your best option would be to make an appointment with a dermatologist to find out what would be the most effective treatment. Please keep in mind that scars can't be totally removed; they can only be minimized so that they are not as noticeable.

Instead of popping them,apply warm,moist towels to your arms and let them open on their on.It leaves less scaring. If the scars are fairly recent try Vit.E oil in at least the 23,000 IU that can be bought at Walmart for about $3.95.I've been using it since Feb. (per doctors orders) after I fell through the attic floor and got a 10"x4" leg wound. The skin is even beginning to tan which rarely happens with a scar that size.
PS: I wouldn't recommend putting it on an open ,raw wound

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
