Hi Cindy

Use Bio-oil. Not sure where you are from but its a very popular product in the UK.

Good luck...

Go to a drug store and look for scar pads. They are silicon and are worn on the area for a long time. The silicon can flatten and break down some scar tissue. This is the technique used by doctors.

If it is a very large scar such as from a major burn ask a doctor about compression garments for scars.

Also, massage the scar a lot. If it is raised and bumpy the massage will break down collagen and help it appear more like typical, healthy tissue.

Try Hemp Healing Cream - a natural product, easy to use and very effective.

I have found that if you massage and knead them every day until they become red that they slowly become smaller and smaller. You can also use a Chinese tincture called "Zieng Gu Shui" which is like tiger balm only stronger.

Hi Cindy,

I trust you're well!

I'm not sure if your issue has been addressed, but just in case.

Try

Internally:

Vit E 65mg or 100iu, Hyaluronic acid, Collagen Type I & III 6g & Vit C 60mg supplements daily.

Externally:

Flexitol Naturals - Skin Nourishing Oil. Rodial & Bliss also have stretch mark/scar treatments but they cost a lot more.

Basically you need to keep the area as moist as possible as often as possible and exfoliate regularly, to keep regeneration constant.

Best regards,

Gee!

I have heard was only reading something about an essential oil. It is supposed to be brilliant for scarring. If I can recall where I was when I read it - I will pop it in.

The best, and inexpensive is using coconut oil, and shea butter.

Hi Cindy, not sure if your country carries this brand called Mederma - it fades away scar tissue, including keloids.

heard Bio oil was helpful, but also it is a good idea to look at the different natural treatments to be sure that they contain protein and other nutrients such as Vitamin A, E and C and also many other useful nutrients like zinc

Buy vitamin E capsules and break them with a needle or pin and spread the thick liquid over any scarring. Mederma also works pretty well. If the scar tissue goes deep and it's in a part of your body that can withstand it, cortisone shots break up scar tissue.
