getting rid of scars
Permalink Closed

Does anyone know any sort of way to get rid of scars or speed up the process? Last fall I got impetigo, which left sores all over my body. (I know it's a children's disease, I felt completely ridiculous having it!) I scar very easily, and around the waistband of my jeans, and around on my breasts where the demi cup bras would hit and rub, I have scars because the sores were constantly being agitated. I've been using scar gel stuff for a month or two (I forget what the name of it is, it's gel you put on a few times a day to reduce the appearence of scars), but it's working very slowly and swimsuit season is coming up! I bought a one-peice so I don't have to reveal my scars in public, but I hate that I have that because I feel very matronly in it (even though I got the sexiest one I could...it's just a mindset I can't get rid of)

So my question is: is there anything I can do besides or in addition to my scar gel, or do I just have to wait it out? There's a bikini I've been eyeing and I hate that I can't get it yet!

There isn't a whole lot you can do, but I find my scars fade more quickly when I'm diligent about taking my multivitamin everyday.

I had wrist surgery about a month ago, and my surgeon told me that the best way to reduce the appearance of scars is to rub in Mederma, that gel you've been using. I asked him if there were any other ways, and he just shook his head at me.... it's hard I know, but I think you just have to be patient!

Thanks! I do take my multi every day... I guess I just have to wait it out
