See if you can find silicone sheets. i used a scar fading system of silicone sheets and it really helped fade them. read reviews before buying. some are better than others.

I've been using lemon juice on my acne scars and its improved the look of them.
Also I have heard if you buy vitamin e capsules and open them up and rub the oil that is inside the tablets on to your skin it works really well for scars

I have a ton of scars from surgery and I use coconut oil and bio oil like you said. I think it works the best. But also my doctor told to me to keep my scars out of the sun so they won't be as bad. One more thing I noticed with my scars is that the longer I have them the more faded they get. I've had one since birth that is almost completely gone(:

Now that they are old enough, my scars are white instead of purple. I have just learned to not care anymore. All throughout middle school, and freshman year of high school I wore only long sleeves. Then I just got tired of wearing sweatshirts in July an wore whatever I wanted. I relapsed several times over the coming years, until I was 19 or 20 so I got new scars. I would cover them until they turned white-ish and then just let it all hang out again.

 

I find that it really isn't that big of a deal. Many people never notice because of the way I hold my arm, or don't notice for a long time, or just don't say anything. If they do ask I just say "Eh, I dunno" and don't explain further. I've just learned to accept that my body is scarred, and if I can live with it, so can everyone else.

Everyone reccomends bio oil, so you cant do wrong by keeping on using that.
If youre pale, scars stand out more. I have really big, thick scarring, some have faded but the newer ones that are have welted are impossible to do anything about without some kind of scar reduction surgery.
But i find that when i use tan, it reduces the appearance of scarring

I have them all on my thighs and on my wrists and they stand out so badly when you are pale. Amount of people who give me funny looks at work after spotting my wrists ... Anyhows... Use the fudge out of fake tanning products, invest in a body foundation - mac is awesome and try not to care. People are shallow :/

[Caterina123]

For a quick fix try fondation and conceler. To get them to fade try neosprian for recent cuts. Coconut oil,lavender oil,lemon juice, bio oil or just tan to make them less noticeable

As far as keloids are concerned I know when I got one on my nose piercing, I did salt water soaks and those barely worked, tea tree oil (diluted a bit if you get the concentrated stuff) and for really bad ones an aspirin tablet crushed and mixed with sea salt into a thick paste (with a little water) and left on over night. Silicon sheets should also work, but I think the main thing is keeping your skin moist (such as with a lotion or oil) and if there are small keloids you can treat them yourself, otherwise you'll have to go to the doc.  I know this works on acne scars to, so best of luck.
