Vitamin E cream? (Holland and Barrett do it, I think), or buy some vitamin E capsules in Boots or a supermarket, cut them open and put the stuff on like it's some kind of oil.

well you could get some bio oil and try rubbing some of that on them, it may help reduce the appearence and prevent them becoming too permenant. although im not sure if it's 100% effective...

weak Glycolic acid lotion (7 to 10%, no higher)

100% sulphuric acid. (No lower.)

there are scar-reduction pads - a bit like plasters - you can find in boots. i'd pop for the vitamin e first though, as the plasters are £19.99.

The Vitamin E cream is a top product. Go for that. It doesn't remove but really does soften scarring.

bio oil is really good for scars, and works reasonably quickly for me :smile:
