Vitamin E they say works, but I have never used it. I know girls who have used coco butter to get rid of stretch marks, so that might work.
thanks for the quick response. do i just take the vitamin e or do i break it open and apply it? do you know how long for it to be effective at all?
Apply it topically. You can either buy the cream, or break open the capsules and squeeze the liquid on the scar. I have actually heard of a girl using the capsules topically and she said it worked better then the vit. e cream.
do you know how long she used it for before she noticed anything?
I wanna say a few months but Im not for sure.
Bio Oil works well..
Bio oil is really good stuff it reduces the scar tissue over time, may be worth a try
thanks guys. do you know how long it would take bio oil at all?

You can buy Vitamin E oil in a bottle at Puritans Pride.com stay away from the cream it will not work the oil will. I think CVS also carries the oil.
cicks dig scars
so then would the vitamin e be a better choice or the bio oil? anyone leaning one way on this?
Vitamin E works great but will take about 2 to 3 months to get rid of it , I do not know about Bio, have used E for scars from stitches and it worked great, maybe you should google the other stuff, it might have Vit E in it
hey i had pretty bad stretch marks on my arms and back, rub in coca butter few times a day it is really good imo , plenty of water and a good diet helps too i think, you gotta keep doing it regularly though.
yea but stretch marks are probably more responsive to it than scars are to the cocoa butter. would it still work for white scar tissue for the vit e?
I do not know as my scars were more pinkish but I would guess yeah- maybe do a google search. Cocoa butter works great for stretch marks but does nothing for scars.
k thanks. when you put it on, how long do you have to leave it on for?
well like spickidy said, coca is great for stretch marks zilch for scars. all i can think of is that lazer surgery lark. But if you do try coca butter its best applying it everyday.
has anyone used mederma? any good results or heard good things from this?
mederma's good. used it for three months with good results for a 1inch facial scar. you also want to avoid uva and uvb ray damage for atleast first year of scar.
yea mederma's worked great for me...i tryed oil's cocoa butter but mederma was the best
you can use silicone scar sheets oliek scar away. I used them after a surgery and it worked great. Also you may look at your local tattoo shop. Some here in CO are certified to do scar and stretchmark cover up. I believe they basically tattoo the scar the same color as your normal skin so it blends in beter. AND for a last suggestion, I also had a doctor remove a scar for me, he basically took a wide scar and turned it into a very thin scar.
