Scars On Arm. Cream Or Solution To Reduce?
Over an year back, i cut my arm with a blade as i was really mad over something, the wounds healed but the scars are still there on my arm. they are somehow a little embossed. i need to know is there any cream or solution which can help me to reduce these scars? i really dont want to go for a cosmetic surgery or something like that. it really lowers my self esteem and disturbs me alot. i just have to hide my arm all the time at school.

Hi, it seems that you are having linear scar. Scar revision is the best treatment , done by plastic surgeon. If you do not want to consult him, then apply silicone containing gel ...Hexilak silicone gel for long time.Or take intralesional steroid injection in scar, if the scar is hypertrophic.I hope, scar look will improve.. Ok
