Try using the scar cream, Mederma.
Reddish scars, whether they are from stretch marks, acne, or burns, will heal quicker than colorless scars.
You apply it to recent scars three to four times a day for two months and four times a day to old scars for up to six months.
I had heard that most of the creams and lotions didn't really work--just made your skin smoother/softer, so I didn' t try any other treatments than this one, which was recomended by our Doctor. But this one actually worked.
My son has had 16 operations. We used to think that scars were a way of life--so he wore them as a badge of courage. But when I went to a dermatologist myself to check for melanoma, I asked her what might help my son, and she suggested Mederma. That was several years ago, and you can't see the scars now without him actually pointing them out.
Its a clear gel, doesn't stain clothing, and is pretty much odorless. Some day I will start putting it all over my body......LOL
The cool thing about it is it is a refined and tested version of an old folk remedy, Allium. Which is the onion. I guess you could put onion juice on the scars to save money--but you would smell like onions!

I just read your blog and I work with Mederma. I wanted to make you aware of a new product we have, Mederma Cream +SPF30, containing sun protection because the sun can cause discoloration of scars. Check out our website at www.mederma.com for more information on this product as well as a discount coupon you can use for your next purchase. Thanks for the post on our product and sharing your success!
