If you google this question, you'll find loads of answers. The most common is something called bio-oil which supposedly helps clear up spot scars. You can also try buying moisturizer specifically for scars (it should have vitamin D in it, I think) and attempt applying that. If worse comes to worse, you could probably have them surgically removed if the problem is that severe, but to be honest I wouldnt do that until you're much older. Good luck!

Hi there,

Treating spot scares all depends on two factors,
1) How old they are.
2) How deep they are.

This is also known as superficial scares which means they are mainly on the surface of your skin layers and are easy to treat. Microdermabrassion is a great way of not only treating and fading scares but also giving your skin a nice fresh glow which is what this industry is always looking for, it can be a bit high on the price side but definitley worth looking into especially if you have deep scares. Results from Microdermabrassion can sometimes be seen from the first session, usually a session of three or six is required to achieve maximum results, most places in the uk offer discounts when you buy a set of sessions at once.

Another alternative is using creams which are designed to fade scares, please not these take time to work but can be effective depending on how deep your scares are. One cream is Meladerm, its around £35 and should last you 3-4 months and is one of the top selling creams for fading scares. when using such creams please be sure to use an SPF/UVB 15 or 30 as most fading creams inhibit your skins production of melanin which is what helps fight againt the suns harmful UVA rays.

NOTE:

Make sure that what ever cream you deside to go for that it does not contain Hydroquinone which can cause skin cancer when in high doses.
Other creams might contain bleach, this also may cause skin cancer and makes the skin very thin.
You should always wear SPF/UVB 15-30 protection to avoide the darkening of scares and spots.



I hope this information is useful to who ever read it.

Best wishes and good luck,

Kamil

go to your doctor and ask for something called "Retin-a"...i had a minor acne scar on my chin a while back...it's pretty much gone after 8 weeks...NO JOKE...plus it costs an absolute fortune in America (it's the only cream that is scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles :|) and it's free over here.

depends if your scars "Raised"...if it's raised..Retin-a will do the trick but anything "deep" or "chicken pox" scar like then Microdembrasion is your best bet.

remeber though scars ARE scars and if it isn't minor...there's a very small chance it will go away.

Hi you should try steaming your face on aregular basis and also have a facial atleast once twice a week, if you want to get rid of spots.
You called also use Bio-oil to get rid of scars that is really good.

The best and quickest way to get rid of scarring is to use a product with salicylic acid in, aka the stuff of chemical peels, you can get the actual salon standard salicylic or glycolic acid on ebay. Glycolic gets rid of surface imperfections, and salicylic gets rid of oil related evils. Burn all ye sins away. I've personally recovered from severe scarring and my skin is exceptionally smooth and clear through using acid peels. In salons they are generally about £50 aswell, and you need a succession of like 4, so its easier to just get a bottle of acid and some neutraliser for £5. Bio oil actually doesnt work as potently on the face as it does on the body but its okay, I'd use something more along the line of lemongrass oil, vitamin E, niacin or teatree, I wont go into the biology of it but the skin on the face is more exposed, thicker, etc.
