what can I do for scars?

[bulldawg_28]

So I was cleaning the grill where I work, scrubbing it with the grill brick, and some hot grease splattered onto my forehead. I was extremely lucky it didn't get into my eyes. My question is there any type of cream that can help prevent scars? I've got a couple of grease burns on my arms from work before, and they've all left some scars. So if anyone can recommend something that would be great.

Try aloe vera.

Will do, what about cocoa butter? Neosporin?

[Ripp3D]

mederma, is the best for scars.

neosporin if the burns are still new and open. Mederma after they scar up a little.

bio oil

Scars look tough, keep them. I had something fall on me at work awhile back, it cut along my cheek and collar bone. It left a 2inch scar on my cheek and a 3 inch scar on where my collar bone is. Unfortunately the scar on my cheek has gone, but the one on my collar bone is still there.

Scars tell a story

Vitamin E oil (50,000+ i.u.)... and maderma!

not really for scars, not too much you can do for a scar. Plastic surgery if the scar is really bad.
BUT for a burn try crest toothpaste.
ask your doc , it works. Will help heal the burn IF you apply immediately after the burn.

I worked in a hosp for 5 years and a doc in the ER told me about this, thought he was kidding. but, I have used it a few times.

HGH, works great from what i hear.

[bulldawg_28]

Thanks for the tips.

I've been using Maderma now for awhile. It seems to be helping.

HGH won't be an option, that is until I'm in my 40's (I'm 23).

Good suggestion.

How much would that procedure cost typically? Does insurance cover any portion of it?

mederma worked for me
