- 1). Wash your scar with a facial cleanser containing alpha hydroxy acids. These are available in the skin care section of your pharmacy
- 2). Rub a scar treatment cream containing silicone and onion extract into your scar twice a day. Massage the scar for two minutes each time to help break down the bound collagen fibers that cause the skin to become raised and discolored.
- 3). Apply sunscreen to your scar every time you go outside. Just as the sun tans your skin, it can also cause your scar to become darker.
- 4). Rub vitamin E oil into your scar once a day, unless you are also using a scar treatment cream that contains vitamin E.
- 5). Consult a plastic surgeon if your scars persist despite the above remedies. Collagen injections and chemical peels can help minimize the appearance of your scars.
