Scar Removing

[wizard]

Are there any creams etc that can reduce the visibilty of scars (a burn) which is inconvinently on my hand?

Try Carrot Oil. But it at local Health shop. Hope this will help you too. Good luck.

Try natural lanolin. This worked for a very bad scar which faded and softened after massaging in the lanolin. Natural lanolin is a very hard cream and I'm not sure whether it is the lanolin itself or the massage which is effective but it certainly worked for me. (Check you are not allergic first though).

Most remedies such as Vitamin E cream are very effective on new sacr tissue however their effectiveness is reduced when using on old scar tissue.

I've just had a huge scar on my shoulder looks like the xian cross had an op 3 yrs in a row, I've been using Palmer's cocoa butter the hard wax type comes in a tub and works a treat, try afro/carribbeann shops, thats where I found it.

there is a dressing called cicacare that can dramatically improve scars.....i know boots do it.

Apparently that cicacare stuff is really good. Somebody recommended it too me but I'm not too bothered about my scars, but again the sooner you start the better. With regards to my previous post, I should have said that all the various methods will produce results but more so in new scar tissue as this is still forming/growing.
