I went through an operation. A simple one that went bad. Operation table would of been my end. After about two months of hospitalization and frequent visits I now am stuck with four scars that are ugly. They are dark nd noticeable everyone is telling me to get a tattoo to cover them up but I want them to lighten up. I love my scars I just wish they were not dark. Any tips to lighten them?
I had scars on my arms and found an oil in the chemist which I would rub on and it helped somewhat.I'm sorry I can't remember what the oil was called,but if you ask in the chemist (pharmacy) they might be able to find something for you.
They were mean to me nd I got quite after a while. Just wanted to get it online so no human contact was made
i have over 7 feet of surgical scars [i'm 5-9]....never attempted to lighten them.....i wear them with pride
I know but I rave so my outfits show it and even though P.L.U.R. is big they can't help but stare then hug me nd stare. Creeps me out
There is something called "bio oil" that is supposed to lighten scars. Not tried it, not sure if it works.
my knees are scarred from several mishaps skateboarding. Once operated on when I tore a ligament.... vitamin E oil works well
Agree. My son had hip surgery and had an angry scar that was about 12" long. The surgeon recommended this and it has reduced the puckering and also the color of the scar.
Time lightens scars, too. Try massage to break up and realign the "secondary" scarring just outside the incision.
