SCARS - idea on getting rid of them...

Post by Sirloth » Wed Dec 22, 2004 1:36 pm

I dont know if this will work for anyone else, but I have found that putting sudocreme on scars fades them down loads quite quickly!

It helps to heal new cuts as well, and works on burns too...

Sudocreme can be bought from most pharmacies without perscription, i think. It comes in a gray tub and is normally used for exczema but can work on anything! (its sacred to me, cos i used to have really bad exczema and it healed it)

Anyone else tried it?

Lots of love

some people want to get rid of their scars because the dont want the physical proof of what has happened to them, they dont want to see their past pain on their arms etc everyday. It could make them worse.

Some people find reducing the obvious of the scars gives then a new found confidence.

Theres various reasons why.


Also, a good treatment Sirloth is Bio oil, it reduces the red ness of the scars, and helps very light scars dissapear. Iv used it, and it prooved succesful, although i didnt use it for that long.

also palmer's have made a version of Bio oil.

There is also the possibility of Skin Grafts, which is highly succsessful!

Hope this helps.
