When I was ten months old I was in my walker and yanked a kettle cord and burned a small part on my neck, my arm and my leg. I am 29 now and the scars on my leg is not very noticeable and the same goes with my neck. It is still very noticeable on my arm though. Over the years you just start to live your scars and they become a part of you. They can even become a conversation piece at times. So my answer to you is: Don't cover your scars up, they are a part of your history and what makes you beautiful.

There is a cream called Mederma that I think works. It is fairly expensive, and I think it is made from some wielrd plant from South America, but it really does lessen scar tissue, even with existing scars. You may have to apply it for 3 to6 months to see results.

Nothing natural.. You could see a plastic surgeon. It wouldn't cost much at all to do what is called a scar revision. I would guess from what you said it would be an "in-house" procedure and would cost a few hundred bucks. Really no big deal.

The product Maderma is available at drug stores and can help reduce the appearance of scars.

mederma for scars seems to work really good, I have also heard getting vitamin e oil from a natural store like gnc and putting that on it. Good luck!

You could try bio-oil, it works miracles but takes a while to work.
Hope it helps!
