Ask your GP for a referral to a plastic surgeon, they can do a scar revision under local anaesthetic which will result in a finer scar and release the tension in the existing scar. Alternatively, they can supply you with Covermark or Keromask cream which is specifically used for covering tattoos, scars and birthmarks. You don't say where on your body your scar is but I'm guessing it's somewhere visible. I use Keromask to cover a large birthmark, you have to apply 3 different creams then a powder to set it, but it's waterproof and lasts for a week if you don't rub it off. It also looks completely natural. You need a plastic surgery or dermatology referral so they can get the exact shade and teach you how to apply it properly. Good luck :)

I sometimes use foundation to cover my tattoos, maybe that will work for you?

Foundation or coloured skin cream like tan cream should cover up the scar
you should tell your local phamasie about the problem they might be able to suggest a certain type of cream
if it makes you faint or feel ill go to the doctors

also how can i contact you because you dont allow emails or messages? :/
(reply back in anouther question?)

Try Bio Oil

you can get a special cream that once applied a few times it should help fade the scar you should try you local pharmacy if not sometimes they fade after a few years.

well there are about 3 ways i know.
first every night for about 3 weeks put it in warm water for about 1 hour.
you can also stop picking it stop messing with it and just let it heel on its own,
you could also eat some foods that will help it such as banana's i Leaned that in health.

There are creams that your doctor can give you that help remove scars, dark linings, stretch marks etc. Ask you doctor.

My daughter had a nasty keloid scar, and it was treated with Silicone gel sheets it stayed on with a bit of tape and did reduce the scar a lot. She also had an appointment at the hospital with the red cross who for a voluntery donation, gave her some camoflage creams and showed her how to apply them. This was in the UK and she was about 13 at the time so probably why we did not have to pay. Hope this helps.

Dont cover it let the natural air clear it and dry it up ... so won't have to be worrying about it later on. There are special specific creams, oils and lotions for scars. Check on google :)

i use bio oil at least 3 times a day.... i av 6 scars on my fave... 4 of them were where moles were ad them removed used bio oil n they r disappearing slowly

I've had serious improvement with scars after using pure vitamin E oil on them. You can get it at most pharmacies. You will also want to keep sunscreen on it. The sun will make it appear worse than it is. It probably won't ever go away completely, however, cover-up and cosmetics will help disguise it a bit.
