How do I get rid of scars?

[Tesia]

Okay a last month i had this rash on my arm and now i have scars from my rash. I wanna get rid of it but I do not how. Any suggestions?

 

[mintesa]

mmm lots of lotion and sunblock. when skin is healing the sun can be harmful and make the scars look darker. sometimes scars also take some time to heal. maybe 2 months.

You might want to try mederma, it's supposed help with scars. I hope this helps.

Depending on the depth and "feel" of the scar, you might want to try a microdermabrasion product. I use Epidermx for the dermabrasion properties for lines, minor wrinkles (and it's GREAT) ... it also does a wonderful job of smoothing the skin. I started using it on a scar on my chest last weekend and so far with three treatments it has really started to knock it down. You want to make sure you put products on with good soothing properties afterwards ... like camillia or emu oil. Although I use Epidermx, you can pick up a good microdermabrasion product at a drug store. It won't be quite as good, but it should work just fine, especially since it is a new scar.

where can i get epidermx? How much is it?

i also suggest microdermabrasion, mary kays set is getting popular- it also works for me. use an exfoliating lotion- lac hydrin- sold at www.drugstore.com, (also read customer reviews on the drugstore site- highly reccomended by dermatologists)try a bleaching cream, and you have to use sun block, or you wont see results from bleach cream, they only get darker. something in bleaching cream makes your skin senitive to sun... a lotion with spf... they WILL be gone by may. view my thread (afraid to go outside)

Since you're just using it for a scar, I'd suggest trying Microdermx ... they sell small sample sizes, which is all you'll need. The service is fast too.

I ordered Epidermx from goldportbeauty.com, very fast and excellent CS. I bought it together with the 4oz Silkia camellia oil and got free shippng. The Epidermx itself is about $31.

half cup of honey and half cup orange juice,put it on with a cotton bud and let it be for atleast 10 mins then wash it off,it dries off the rash immediately,also works for blemishes

Hi Im always burning my skin because Im always trying products .I burn my skin really,really bad it was my neck my back and my arms that happend because I used Veet hair removal foam nothing happend on my legs or lower arm so I thout its ok.Ahhh it was painful and bad , my skin looked like they had ate my skin of with all this holes all over what I did is not put anything the first 2 days not even wet it,after I starded putting aloe vera I have a plant so I was putting the pure pulp on my skin.I did that for 2 weeks straight the first week I would never wet the affected areas.I would just put the aloe dont rubb but slighty put the pulp the aloe to my skin.never wash it or wet.just contenue to do that for 2 weeks every day.After you wash affected areas with a very mild soap let the scales fall on there own never remove any scales with your hands and try to stay away from the sun.After all that. I stared puting natural vitamin e on the areas and also skin lightening lotion,soap,help alot.

Hope this helps

Vitamen E Serum is what I have been using for my scars. It's cheap and pretty natural method.

 

[Tesia]

yeah...i heard that b/4 but how fast does it make the scars go away

 

[charish]

hm since it was just a month ago start putting vitamin e oil on it. even if you don't unless you scratched the heck out of it or scar easily it should gradually fade away.

 

[SkinCareJunky]

A series of chemical peels(TCA) plus a good skin lightener (without hydroquinone) might do it. works for me.

 

[4getmeNot]

Why without hydroquinone? I thought it had bleaching/lightening properties?

Tesia, I couldn't tell you. I've only been using it for about a week, I wish I could be of more help. But you could always try it, it's fairly cheap. I purchased a good sized glass bottle for $10 at the drugstore.

 

[ysa_38]

i might use TCA for my scars too.. hope it'll work..
