Well the surgery left me with 2 nasty looking scars. They are still healing but pretty gross looking. I have a pretty big one on my neck, an a huge one on my back. Is there something that works that will dim or get rid of them?

Kelo-cote is great on scars. You can get it any drug store. Good luck!

Bio-Oil® is a specialist skincare product that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, also makes it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin. http://www.bio-oil.info/en/uses.html This oil works fairly well.

Well when my kids had stitches when they were younger my daughter had to have several on her forehead. The plastic surgeon told me to get Vitamin E Oil use a cue tip and put some on the scar several times a day that it would in fact help heal it and lesson the scaring as well. I did and you can not see the scar on her forehead now.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about removing them, they are marks of trials you have endured so to speak, wear them with pride.

I got 2 scars across my chest, and one of my hand, circling my thumb. I wear them as metals because they show am a survivor, so am not going to get rid of them. (sorry, no pics )
