Advice about a scar?
I fell on asphalt a couple of months ago and now I have this big ugly scar on my knee. Is there anyway to get rid of it or at least make it fade? I've seen those topical ointments (Mederma, for example) in the stores but do they work?
Answers:
Massage is the best thing for a scar. The creams and lotions they advertise don't do much except encourage massage because you have to fully rub them into the skin. It's a waste of money if you ask me. I would get some regualr Vitamin E lotion and use that, it won't have much benefit from the lotion itself but will make it easier to massage the area. Massage helps to increase the collagen production which can help reduce the appearance fo the scars. You need to do it twice daily for about 5 minutes.
