Question:

I have a lot of scars, is there any way I can get rid of them or at least make them less noticeable?


Answers:

The scar will never completely go away, but there are some methods that can help reduce its size and appearance. The treatments for scars will vary depending on multiple factors. One type of scar treatments may be Over-the-counter or prescription creams, ointments or gels. These products can be used to treat scars that are caused from surgical incisions or other injuries or wounds. If you are under the care of a plastic surgeon and your scarring is the result of cosmetic or plastic surgery, ask your surgeon for his or her recommendation if over-the-counter treatment is sufficient; otherwise, he or she will prescribe that which best suits your personal case. Oftentimes, treatments can include corticosteroids or certain antihistamine creams for scars that cause itching and are extremely sensitive.
Likewise, if you are under the care of a dermatologist for severe acne and have scarring as a result of acne, you should ask your doctor for his or her recommendation if you haven't already received it. Your doctor can also recommend or use pressure treatings or silicone gel sheetings to help treat scars or as preventative care
