Scars?????

How long do scars usually last after surgery? I had surgery in October, just wondering if it will start to fade away any time soon?Scars?????
depends how deep it was, but from experience they don't tend to fade away that much. I've had a scar from shoulder surgery for over 2 years and i know a guy who has had one for over 5 years. They make scar patches to help them fade , which work really well.Scars?????
I had surgery in October too and I have been using vitamin E cream to help fade it...obviously the scar will never fade completely but the vitamin e cream helped mine fade...mederma is a good brand...hope this helps
Try using Mederma. It is an over the counter and is recommended by MD's. If you don't want to spend the extra money use pure cocoa butter, it will make it softer and less noticeble.

How long should I massage after I apply MEDERMA(Gel for scars) to my scar?

Hi everyone, I am using MEDERMA right now, but I don't know how long should I massage after I apply MEDERMA to my scar. Can some one share your experience with me. Thanks





PS: the directions say ';Apply a thin coat of MEDERMA庐 to the scar, and gently massage in three times a day for eight weeks on new scars and three times a day for three to six months on existing scars.';





It does not tell how long should I massage, so I massage my scar until the MEDERMA get dry.How long should I massage after I apply MEDERMA(Gel for scars) to my scar?
um im guessing untill its rubbed in??

Over the counter products for acne scars?

Can you tell me what products actually work to fade or remove acne scars? I don't want a product that will cause me to break out, nothing that will clog my pores or irritate my skin. I have had my scars for over a year, they have faded a bit but I want to speed up the process. I want to feel handsome again, I want positive attention from women.Over the counter products for acne scars?

How to get rid of acne scars?

I'm 18, and on birth control for medical reasons. I used to have really bad acne, but now I have a really nice complexion.





The only problem is that I have acne scars in my T-zone. Mostly under my nose and my chin. They're little reddish/brown spots that I can't seem to get rid of unless I cover them with makeup.





I've made it my goal to have perfect skin within a month. How can I get rid of these nasty little scars?How to get rid of acne scars?
I started having really bad acne problems beginning when I was 13. I had acne on my cheeks that was really making me self-concious. I tried Proactiv, Zyporex, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with limited results. I wound up contacting a dermatologist. After 4 months nearly all of my acne cleared up. I recommed you try calling a dermatologist that can help. http://www.homeacnecare.comHow to get rid of acne scars?
# Have a chemical peel performed. This is a good treatment for very light acne scarring. Different types of acid are applied to the top layer of the skin. The acid is then removed about 15 minutes later. Again this will remove the top damaged layers of the epidermis. Redness and swelling is common after the procedure. Depending on the amount of acid applied, recovery time can take from a day to a couple of weeks.
i used lemons, and a flour and milk mask. I know it may sound weird but trust me they really work. Here are some links that can help you. Hope i helped and good luck.

    i have a few scars on my cheeks from acne when i was a really small child. i have never been able to get rid of them, what can i do?


    (my acne is better now, its just the scars) their small indentations.. what can i do?





    thanks so much!How can i get rid of acne scars?
    If you are referring to light scarring from acne, go see a dermatologist and get a prescription for a topical treatment. For example, Retin-A promotes cell turnover and can help stimulate collagen production.





    If the scarring is a little deeper, a doctor can advise you on ways to minimize it and inform you of your options. (ex. dermabrasion or laser treatments)





    A good dermatologist will help you find what is right for you.





    Please do not waste your time or money on over the counter products or non-medical treatment. See a doctor first, your skin and your wallet will thank you in the long run.How can i get rid of acne scars?
    Vitamin E oil or cream can be applied to the skin in the affected areas, every day .The cream should be applied overnight. Aloe Vera gel and fresh lemon juice can be applied to the scars, so that they fade quickly. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks or scars at the link below.
    You might be surprised, but the only thing that works on acne scars are tears. When you cry, smooth your tears over the problem area ( make sure it's free of makeup). Don't try to smooth it over the entire face, just one small area at a time. The more times you will do that, the smoother and firmer that area of your skin will become. Leave it on overnight. Tears have an incredible property to renew skin.





    DON'T ever consider microdermabrasions or lasers, they will only destroy layers of your skin, do nothing for the scars, and make the overall appearance of your skin far worse.
    Find some home remedies for acne
    Use either fade cream or makeup that is for your skin type, dry or oily.
    I don't think you can bar cosmetic surgery. Small imperfections in your complexion are minor; don't sweat the small stuff.
    Use an exfoliator like St.Ives Apricot scrub thrice a week.Then use mud masks.Then good moisturizer will help.(you could also use Mederma from Walgreens anti scar cream)
    I have acne scars on my cheek....and when i pop ugly pimples on my forehead also i get scars........what REALLY healps the scars is petroleum jelly,..when i pop the pimple,,,or have the scars...i put a thick layer of petroleum jelly on the scar, and put 2 sheets of paper towel on my pillow and to sleep, wash my face the next morning and the scar goes away,,,,especially if it a scab from my popping the pimple,...and to get rid of other scars that are already there,...keep doing that..and every morning when you wash your face....you'll see it lighten up more and more,..





    hope that helped


    :D
    Lotions usually do they job since they even out skin tones. I think that a daily routine of applying lotion should work out for you. However, you must be patient, it's not an overnight process. However, in the long run it'll work. If you want to choose a scar solution i think that you should go with the most popular brand for ointments... neosporin.


    http://www.e-firstaidsupplies.com/topica鈥?/a>
    I think Treadstone gave the very best advice here. I speak from experience as I myself have had to treat acne scars. I use retin-a at .1% and it helps the exfoliate the outer layers of your skin and promote the production of collagen, which helps minimize the scars. I have been using for 8 weeks now and see a huge difference.





    Tears won't work, that is bs, and microdermabrasion won't ruin your skin, in fact you will come out with a more smooth and even complexion. It is well worth the money. The only thing is you will be slightly red for about a day.





    Definately listen to Treadstone and talk to a dermatologist.





    Good luck.

    im recovering from cutting and i have scars and is there a way to either cover them up really well or to do something so other people can't see them?Scars?????
    Mederma works reasonably well, but it is fairly expensive.





    Scars will never truly go away. Something like Mederma will fade them, but they'll still be there.





    My friend crushes up asprin and then adds just a few drops of water to make a paste which she applies to her scars which she says works pretty well to fade them, so you might try that.





    Good for you for giving up cutting. I know it's really hard.





    Good luck.Scars?????
    You could try the Tylenol. However, asprin and Tylenol are different chemical compunds and therefore I would assume they would work differently.





    Also consider cover-up. Just make sure it matches your skin really well. Report Abuse

    There's this new thing out though from Neosporin--pads--I saw in Seventeen that they were good at fading scars too. Probably expensive, however.





    Ah, but don't worry about it really. Unless it's a trigger, it's only a reminder that you're a stronger person now. Report Abuse

    thanks, ill get some advil from a friend adn try it, thanks so much! lol it sucks that im so young too.:Pim only 14 thats kinda funny my friend is in the same hole only she still does it and im still getting over it so its gonna be a tough journey but i think she'll help me. thansk for the advice Report Abuse

    Well, let me first say that I am extermly happy that you quit cutting. You can try to wear long sleevs, put make-up on it, or try band-aids. Good Luck and Best Wishes!!





    Sara
    I am so happy for you that you stopped cutting. That is a real cry for help, so continue to get the support and assistance that you need. My body is so scarred, that I look like a road map. This is from many surgeries. Unfortunately, scars never go away. Vitamin A applied topically will help some, but will not remove your scars completely. Think of those marks as your ';battle scars.'; You earned every one during a very bad time. Now you are past it, but you will always have a reminder that you don't want to go that way again. Best wishes, honey.

    try Palmer's cocoa butter, it is specially for scars, stretch marks etc. it really helps and doesn't break the bank!





    hope this helps!





    P.S. i wont judge you for cutting but i just hope you didn't hurt yourself to badly and i also hope that you didn't just do it because your ex thought it was cool or you were trying to impress him, if so i hope you can see he wasn't worth the time, pain or effort!





    xScars??????
    bio oil is good for scars but i suppose it would depend on how bad the scars are
    Neosporin maybe? If they were deep cuts they may never heal up, but Neosporin should heal the small ones heal up quick.





    Also, go see a shrink.
    creams at the store that will fade it over time

    Scars.....?

    i went through a time where i had lots of spots but now there gone but iam left with little scars on my face and they turn red and look like spots again when i go out side how do i get rid of these little scars?Scars.....?
    the best thing for scars is rubbing vitamin e into them.


    you can get this as a cheap moisturiser from asda.


    good luck.


    xScars.....?
    When you go outside, wear a sunhat or take an umbrella.After you come back home ,remove all make-up on your face .Use suitable soap for your skin.
    Although i had some from chickenpox and i know thats different i was told to use vitamin E oil on my face and the scars faded away . Hope this helps and good luck , i know the anxiety this can cause .
    Talk to a doctor. There are some laser treatments available to help fade them but they are not widespread. The other option is medical cosmetics which cover the scars. Your doctor can point you in the right direction for that too.
    The Body Shop used to do a product which would reduce the appearance of scars over time. You could ask if they still do it. Other than that, try Bio Oil.





    You should also ask your GP to be referred to a dermatologist, if it's a long-standing problem.
    By leaving them be and letting your skin heal !!
    try using a moisturiser with a cocoa butter base. Or try using a product called 'sweet japanese girl' from Lush. It was powerful enough to get rid of my stubborn blackheads and cleaned gently too so it unblocks pores and evens skin tone. therefore it should help to conceal your scars
    go and get a facial, and then depending on your skin and the severity of it they can reccommend resurfacing treatments, like glycolic peels or microdermabrasion!

    Scars??????????????

    If you get a cut over a scar does the scar go away if the cut is healed properly?Scars??????????????
    I dont think it can.Scars??????????????
    I guess it would depend on how big and deep the scar is, what kind it is, how big and deep the cut is, and how ';properly'; it is healed. Scar revision is the technique of cutting out a scar and stitching up the incision so as to create a more aesthetic appearance. Though, sometimes that involves more complex procedures such as skin grafts. Since I'm assuming you're referring to an accidental cut, I would guess that maybe it is possible if all the factors lined up just right, but unlikely.

    Scars?????

    I have many, many scars all over my body, most are caused by cutting with a knife or razor. Some stitches too. These are very embarrassing to explain to new people I meet, or even just wearing a t-shirt or skirt or shorts. I would never dream of taking my clothes off for a swim in front of anyone!





    I have got past this point in my life, I now regret that I did this to myself and hate living with these scars now. Is there anyway to effectively get rid of scars like these?





    Anybody with this experience?Scars?????
    i am very sorry to hear that... it is a very sensitive issue that you have got here. but u must always remember that people in this world love you for who you are and even though i cannot answer this question accurately, i can say this... you will always have these scars in your memory until the day you kick the bucket. people that curse you on how you look are just as bad as the scars you have because they are insensitive to your feelings and are actually rude. you can actully say to yourself that you are better than those people that critisise you... and knowing that is always gr8 to know. my friend had had a difficult childhood having an abusive father that worked for the police. he is a better person now than he has ever been as he has realised he is better than his own father. even if you do find a solution to your scars, you will always be loved by those you love back, even if they dont know it....gud luck with your problemScars?????
    they make creams for scars...I think it is called Mederma. I dont know how well it works. You can also get some kind of procedure done to remove them I believe

    Buy some natural castor oil. It needs to say cold pressed natural on it. Dab a little on the scars twice a day.

It should help lighten them.How can i get rid of bug bites scars?

    There is certainly no shortage of creams and balms that claim to cure everything from impotence to scarring, but do they work? Most of the reports we have found say “no”, however there are always a few who claim success with these methods, so here is a list of the ones we have found that have had at least one reported success story associated with them (and we only found two!).





    * Creams containing cocoa butter and vitamin E help keep your skin soft, elastic and healthy. Regular use of such creams may help scars diminish naturally over time. We would recommend combining this with an overall healthy lifestyle.


    * Apply a 3x solution of medical-grade hydrofluoric acid (or a product which contains it) to the scarred area twice daily for one to two weeks. Do this ONLY under the supervision of your dermatologist because this CAN damage your skin.

    and after the 3 days drink about 2-4 cups a day and apply a tea bag to your face a night and in the morning
