Home Remedies for Scar

found coco butter does work.. it does help it fade.. make sure to massage it because the motion helps to loosen the skin to allow fresh skin to appear

#2 - jamie - 08/18/2007 - 16:17

Another remedy

Putting toothpaste on scars works! Sounds untrue, but it really does!

#3 - Patricia - 09/15/2007 - 11:10

how does toothpaste work? maybe because of the mint in it...?

#4 - melissa - 09/19/2007 - 18:16

Remedy for Scar

apply a mixture of multani mitti and calamine lotion to acne at bedtime and wash in morning. Within 2days notice the difference. This is safe and effective for even pregnant women

#5 - vishu - 10/20/2007 - 08:02

Putting Vitamin E caplets does too! Just slit it open and let it oozwe over the scar >-(

#6 - Jessica - 12/15/2007 - 18:17

I use sea salt for my pimples. i disolve some of the salt, and leave the rest as granuals. the undisoled salt acts as an exfoliant, and the disoled salt acts as a clearing agent. i use twice a day, with wonderful results. ive tried proactive and many others. this is what works for me. try it and leave feedback

#7 - shawnna hall - 01/15/2008 - 18:04

my face is fulf of scars and a few on my clevage and i dnot know what to do... i want tm to go like with a few days help me... :-[]

#8 - shock horror - 01/29/2008 - 18:36

lemon juice works, takes time for all scars to disappear but it does fade the scars. i put it on in the morning after washing my face n at night....try it.

#9 - patel - 02/12/2008 - 11:11

Never leave toothpaste on overnight! I was told that it dries out the pimple, but instead, I was left with a burn on my face. >-(

#10 - Scars - 02/18/2008 - 17:12

toothpaste does not work. do not put all over your face nor leave it on over night. I had an allergic reaction and cost me mega bucks at the dermatologist..but what does work for ACNE is wash your face with dove unscented 1/4 milk moisturizer in the morning ..pat dry. apply organic aloe vera gel (light brown in color) to face. let dry. at night, rinse face with plain water. pat dry. apply aloe gel again.

for stretch marks, scrub scars with any kind of ivigorating scrub for 1-2 minutes, rinse off pat dry, then apply aloe vera gel evenly. scrub a day, skip a day but still apply aloe gel.

acne scars- limes cut in thin slices apply and softly move in circular motion on scars, then leave on scarred area for 2 min or less. rinse with cold water.

this has worked wonders for me and my family, friend. especially the stretch marks! this is for oily and normal skin.

don't , I repeat don't...do the toothpaste.

#11 - the truth.. - 02/22/2008 - 01:32

use toothpaste for bruises
B-)

#12 - claudia - 02/27/2008 - 18:07

i have scars and this scars are almost 8 years..it is possible to
remove in natural way?

#13 - Zel - 02/28/2008 - 01:34

Rubbing lotion or oil of any kind on your scars helps (for acne scars, I don't reccomend oil; just use a facial moisturizer). For any kind of scars in general (except keloid scars), massaging the scarred area will help. This helps to slightly break down the scar tissue and get blood cells moving in the area. :-)

#14 - me - 03/03/2008 - 19:26

for those who have scars please try nutmeg and milk together make it to become a paste and then put on the scars area it really works. you can buy powder nutmeg and also if you have liquid milk or powder milk it's ok at least just try like this
1 tablespoon of milk
1 tablespoon of nutmeg

make it a paste and then place on the scars area on your skin it really works.

Nut Meg & Milk!!!!!!!!!
ITS FAST! ITS HOMEMADE! ITS CHEAP! IT WORKS!!! It honestly does!!!!! :-D

I was a bit skeptical when I read about it but WOW does it ever work! Just go to any grocery store and you can buy ground nut meg for $1.39. You can use any milk (I used whole) but you can use any kind. Mix the nutmeg and milk together in equal amounts. Apply to the scar and allow the remedy to dry over night. Once dry rince off in the morning with cool water and reapply at night! See results after just 6 days!!!!!!! It Truely works :-)

#28 - ESTATICTED! - 06/13/2008 - 18:25

i was looking through, for some new beauty remedies... and came across this... well what can i say? i am the type of person who believes in natural beauty.. and skin care. Most chemicals are harmful and rough on the skin, especially in latter years of life. What i do from time to time.. about 2 or 3 times a month.. is make a mixture and let in set in my skin while i bathe. its more of a beauty mixture.. than particularly for scarring.

a) a little bit of egg whites... just enough to cover your face.
b) a teaspoon of mayo.. lightens the fine facial hairs and gives you a glowing look.
c) a teaspoon of sour cream.. for any blemishes
d) a couple drops of vanilla extract .. penatrates through pores.
e) less than a teaspoon of yeast.. it is very healthy for the glowing and cleansing of dead skin cells

let the mixture set.. till it becomes a thick paste.. and the yeast rises... it is also a good facial scrubber with the little yeast bits inside of it.

then apply to your face in circular motions... a thick layer should do the job. massage into face. for about a minute or two

then was your face completely, pat it dry, and then moisturize your face with a light moisturizer.

#29 - amanda - 06/13/2008 - 23:33

:-O

i used toothpaste and it did work a bit but it does scar.
so be aware.

#30 - ky - 06/14/2008 - 16:22

I have two scratch marks that have left scars on the side of my face, they look like finger nail scratches, I can not for the life of me figure out how I got them, or how long they have been there. they only show up in the summer after I get a tan. Other wise you can not see them, the darker I get the more you can see them. I am willingly to try anything, any suggestions

#31 - Michelle - 06/15/2008 - 09:08

Hi. I was just recently sunburned very bad on my face, ears, and arms. Does any one have an idea to use on blister scars? I have some on my shoulders and on one of my ears. I have been putting aloe vera and lotion on everything that was sunburned. But I need to find a way to reduce my chances of scarring and if need be a way to get rid of the scars. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks...

#32 - Ash - 06/16/2008 - 13:05

#33 - danni - 06/22/2008 - 08:39

i am tryning nutmeg and milk. will come back to here and tell you if it works or not. worth a try i basically have scars everywhere. >-(

#34 - Wowness - 06/24/2008 - 07:10

well, if they are new scars, just buy palmers skin success fading cream, soap, and lotion. It works on new scars, but if they're old, all it does is make your skin brighter.

#35 - momo - 06/24/2008 - 23:34

i have scars from waxing my back, and not closing my pores; which turned all the pores into white heads, which in turn i scratched. not the smartest thing to do. ;-)

but i do use a mexican cream called concha nacar, which works pretty well. i'll have to try some of these home remedies.......but it works good for fading scars. it's a night cream, so just rinse it in the morning, and apply it every night. results will show within about a week. exfoliation works great in addition to this cream. thanx for all of your suggestions! :-D

#36 - laura - 06/29/2008 - 00:37

What about Ingrown hair scars on legs. Recently I got it by trying to epilate, and the result turned out the opposite of what i expected. All Im left with now are scars all over my legs, I tried tweezing them and letting them grow, but they just scarred even more now. What is the best thing to use for this? I cannot use Tendskin (allergies).
Any suggestion??? :-(

#37 - Misha - 07/03/2008 - 01:39

bio oil works really well for stretchmarks and scars. you have to put it on twice a day (i use it morning and night) but after a couple months i've really noticed a difference. my stretchmarks faded and so have my scars. plus its pretty cheap. (13 bucks a bottle)

#38 - Sarah - 07/07/2008 - 16:11

how long does it take nutmeg and milk to start working? :-o

#39 - confused - 07/07/2008 - 21:07

@ confused - i tried the nutmeg & milk for like 3 days and i saw improvement. it works pretty well. it feels kinda weird though, when you wear it at night. but otherwise, it works great!

#40 - laura - 07/11/2008 - 19:53

im only 13 and i have scrs all over my legs and arms n they r really dark r u sure this will work/ i wood hate to go to high school like this

#41 - me - 07/21/2008 - 19:50

Alright, for all you desperate peeps out there...here is the conclusion.

You need something that will fade/wipe your scars completely ?

Get creams with hydroquinone.

I've been using Eldoquin forte 4% (by ICN); trust me when I say it works like magic !

Just be sure to wash and put after each hour. Thats what I did.

#42 - Frostii - 07/24/2008 - 17:45

do these remedies work on ANY scars? not just acne..
like cuts/scrapes on different body parts ?

#43 - sara - 07/24/2008 - 22:43

#44 - Jane - 07/29/2008 - 08:05

thanks very much!

#47 - naven - 08/02/2008 - 05:10

For my spots and scars, before I go to bed I wash my face and then I use aloe vera gel, once that's dried I apply tea tree oil and then once that has dried I apply 100% olive oil. It helps to get rid of my sopts effectively and it improves the look of my scars. Once a week I use lemon juice to bleach the scars. Only leave the lemon juice on for 1-2 minutes because it burns!
This had worked well for me. I have been to the doctors and the creams and antibiotics haven't worked. Try this! :-D

#48 - anom - 08/04/2008 - 15:36

#59 - steve gonzalez - 08/30/2008 - 18:57

gyliciren & lemon mixed in equal quatity apply on skin and leave for 10mins and then wash it of..will reduce sars and increase moist in your skin.

#60 - GEETS - 08/31/2008 - 12:20

Rosehip seed oil, rosehip seed oil, rosehip seed oil!!! Need I say more? I had some deep scars and after one month I see a HUGE difference! I use it twice a day, in the morning and at night....I wish I would have known about this a long time ago!

#61 - Monica - 09/04/2008 - 18:03

i have scars in my legs..it looks awful.i don't know how to make it fade.i want to lighten myskin color too :-(

#62 - alexis - 09/10/2008 - 04:53

good treatment for eczema scarring/discoloration-take raw shea butter (available at local african shops)and aloe vera gel. bathe with the aveeno oatmeal treatment and black soap.it will not jus relieve the itching,it will help even out skin tone!

#63 - tam - 09/12/2008 - 21:19

i have spots on my face bcoz of using wrong medicine(creame). it looks odd. 3 months have passed but my spots are not gone.i have tried nutmeg and milk on the spot for 3-4 days but it didn't gone . please tell me some very effective home remidies.plz..iam helpless.... :oops:

#64 - towmony - 09/20/2008 - 06:39

I have many different acne scars all over my face and some from shaving on my legs. :-(

I have tried everything possible for my acne but nothing seems to work! Im trying nutmeg and milk so ill write back to tell if it worked!!! :-)

#65 - riley - 09/23/2008 - 13:49

ok so does the nutmeg n milk really work??!? I need some facts.not just internet talk....

#66 - Karriemah - 09/24/2008 - 21:49

Just a NOTE: there are different reasons for different types of scars....some are just dead skin that needs to be exfoliated and lightened (like from recent acne or bug bites) and some are heavy scarred /damaged areas from serious wounds or burns or deep cuts.... So I think that is why some things work for some and not on others. Mederma and Bio Oil and Coco butter all did nothing for me...mine are older deeper wound scars from injuries and burns. jh

#67 - jh - 09/25/2008 - 00:35

Hey y'all I've been using Aloe Vera gel and it works WONDERS. Your face feels refreshed and softs after about 15 minutes of use. It does improve skin texture, scars, and even zits. I definitely reccomend it. Also I will try honey. If it works I'll let ya know :]

#68 - Smile People! - 10/02/2008 - 17:51

I just started using lemon juice last night and can tell a slight difference. It does sting a little, but nothing unbearable.I wouldn't recomend using on open sores. I'm going to try tomatoes too.

#69 - danielle - 10/09/2008 - 12:22

I know how you all feel. Scars are terrible for not only the physical aspect but the emotional as well. Acne makes one self conscious and makes one feel "ugly" as well.

I dont have any remedies, I wish I did. I've tried ALOT of things but nothing seems to work. The acne scars will probably fade away with time. So be patient.

#70 - meme - 10/10/2008 - 01:18

hi, i'm a freshman at high school and i have acne scars on my face. i am tired of evading the spotlight and dodging my friends' cameras all the time and want to have a decent picture of me for once. i've tried coverup and a good foundation, but you can still easily see the scars.
i am going to start using the milk and nutmeg concoction along with applying honey at various times throughout the day. i will reply back in 7 days and tell u guys if it worked or not. wish me luck!! :-D

#71 - *~{.Brooke.}~* - 10/12/2008 - 22:52

so im a (BLACK) dude whos got a bad cut on my face from a bad air soft accident, about 2-3 cm, may not be very big but i notice it everytime i look in the mirror because of the dark skin around it... its only been a week and 3 days now and i getting really pissed, i tried "SCAR ZONE" for that whole week and still am, but im not noticing anything really different, i might try the nutmeg milk thing or the lemon bleaching but if that doesnt work, ima get help from a dermatologist. But I recommend washing the wound first of all everyday to remove excess skin... but seriously this cut is looking a bit pinkish red in the right lighting which pisses me off... to my friends its not noticable or just looks like an acne scar but im getting worried... if u have any recommendations please step up... NEXT PERSON do not mess up my comment with ur problems until u can deal with mine XD... if u think im a liar, i wrote this while that move ROLE MODEL's came out... ima see it (just lightening the mood XD) but seriously solve my problem with some real working remedy that u know works.

#77 - Angie - 11/04/2008 - 17:03

is it ok to use lemon juice from concentrate on acne scars or just lemon juice from the lemons? :-)

#78 - Tara - 11/06/2008 - 22:56

This is a great site. I'm wonderin if it's necessary to use the nutmeg and milk overnight only. If I use it during the day will it still make a difference?

#79 - Lilly - 11/17/2008 - 20:30

Sounds like a lot of home remedies that are good for clearing acne scars, but I recently got MRSA, an antibotic resistant staph infection. It's horrible! I have two scars on my neck that were pretty deep. I'm trying the vitamin e but i'm not hopeful, the scars are about a month old and they are slightly elevated.

please listen to me!! if anyone has a raised red scar or just a red scar, please use silicone sheets!! silicone sheets work like magic!! u can get them at ur local cvs pharmacy. they are like around $25 dollars and u have to keep them on for 12 hours a day for 8 weeks but they are so worth it !! instead of 8 weeks i saw a very slight improvement the first time i used it. but please use silicone sheets if u are suffering from a red scar!!

Ok try this.. . . ive only used it on my face for about 4 times now.. not in a row but i missed some days because i was too lazy repeating through the same process. I saw the difference just after the 1st use.. im serious!!

Neway just cut a fresh slice of cucumber and crush it up together w/ skin to get the juice out... and the add ten drops of lemon juice to the cucumber juice, mix it and apply it to face. Leave on for 15mins before washing off. If you use any kind of scrub or cleanser you may still continue using it while using the cucumber & lemon juice.

This is good for dry skin types. . getting rid of face scars/body scars, and lightening red spots on face.

If you have oily skin its best you use honey and lemon.

Iv'e only tried this in the mornings in addition to my daily wash.

Make sure to use a good "face cream" not moisturiser that works with your skin type. If using on body for stretch marks be sure to moisturize daily to prevent yourself from getting new ones.

I'm the type that tries everything and just about anything for better skin. My family and friends know that too and this time after trying this natural inexpensive home remedy they actually saw the difference after my 2nd use. My brother who is always sceptical about these things is now even trying it lol.
I knew he had a lil bit of girl in him hahaha

I havent tried the honey and lemon one yet but i plan to use that on my body as it is kind of dry as well as scars on my legs and arms. .Then i will moisturize and apply bio-oil so that it would even out my skin tone too.

i hope the scars would be gone~
i'm tired having people pointing it out~

Well I ave found a very god solution to making scars disappear.
Nutmeg powder and Milk: Rub into scar and leave it on all night,then wash it off in the morning.
Cucumber and Lemon Juice
Rosehip Seed Oil
Egg Yolk and Nutmeg: Mix together and apply to scar daily.
Lemon Juice and Honey: Mix together and apply to scar everyday.
Lemon,Aloe Vera Gel,Tea Tree Oil, and 100% Olive Oil: Use one after another daily.
Rosewater and Lemon Juice: Mix together and use everyday.

P.S. Do not use toothpaste,Mederma,or Scar Zone; toothpaste can cause burns and irritation and Mederma and Scar Zone are only topical treatments to smooth the scar.
Well I hope you take this advice clearly.

i have all acne scars on my face, i read all suggestions but which one works the best && fastest? :-)

#87 - Mike - 12/22/2008 - 19:02

Hi, i have these REALLY REALLY terrible scars on my arms. I can't wear short sleeved shirts because of it and its kinda depressing, especially in this heat. I have been using lemon juice on them which does lighten them, but doesn't remove them.

Toothpaste does tend to burn the skin, if you have a strong skin its fine to leave it on, but DO NOT apply it to an unaffected area. it can reduce blemishes/scars for some reason

Also i have scars on my face, but i have oily skin, so i'm not sure what else to use.

P.S treatment for white scars anyone?

alrite so in 2 weeks i return to skool, i need the fastest way to remove red acne scars, basically i feel funny with them...i need help pls

#89 - ahhhh - 12/28/2008 - 15:20

ahhhh - i've been using this palmers coco butter formula scar serum, now the smell aint the best, but it really reduces the appearance of scars, just remember to apply it again once its absorbed into the skin.

I had a surgery which left a really nasty red and purpilish scar, i use a mix of aloe vera gel and the coco butter scar serum and its becoming lighter every day.

If you don't have money to buy any of that. I find a mix of lemon juice and bicarb soda works alot (also helps exfoliate)

#90 - deesy - 12/30/2008 - 03:23

i reccomend multanimatii mixed with rose water it gives a cold feeling to the skin,lemon juice mixed with honey lightens the scars

#91 - kutri - 12/30/2008 - 14:07

For every scar...BIO OIL!

I had stretchmarks on my back and acne scars from my teen years and this cured it big time.

Not cheap, but a little goes a long way.
