What's the best remedy for long time scar on skin which is not expensive?
I have existing scar on my leg which I gained during my childhood. I always love to wear shorts most of the time but I'm conscious because of that big scar. Could you provide me with possible herbal med that you know?
I don't have personal experience with scars...but Lavender oil (lavendula angustafolia) is amazing for burns and they say it can help scars heal and disappear. Young Living Essential Oils sells it, but I suppose there are other companies that sell it too. I wish you success.
Thank you J Yoder... I'll try to seek for this one. I really wanted my scars to disappear. Hope it will be effective.
I would personally avoid lavender oil, since it has estrogenic effects on the body. There was a case of a young boy growing breasts because his mother rubbed lavender oil on his scalp after his daily bath:

I would try these remedies, which might work (or might not) at reducing the visibility of scars:
- onion extract (used in the gel Mederma)
- silicone
- alpha-hydroxy acids
