Fading a Scar?

SoftballCrazy · 10-23-2009, 12:05 PM

Does Mederma (sp?) really work to fade a scar? Any other proven methods that work?

The scar is about 3-4 inches long, below the knee, flat, about a month old, and still looks purplish near the top.

Thanks for any info....

Also, maybe try some vitamin-c.

Yes it works, but it may take some time. The purplish part is probably due to the trauma itself and is brusing inside and just needs time to fade.

Poke a hole on a vitamin E capsule and smooth it on the scar twice a day. Don't ask me how I know this.

Scars are kinda like tatoo's with better stories, that's the way I feel about mine.

Bio oil works well for me..smells really good and doesnt feel greasy.

Thanks for the suggestions! I wish it had a fabulous story behind it, but it's actually a scratch from a sharp puppy nail, so it's a skinny long scar on the side below my knee...can't pass that off as rug burn...I can't think of a juicy story to make up for it.
