" im presuming that if you wanting to get rid of scars you have stopped SI'ing. Good on ya. to get rid of my scars I use pure vitamin E oil (not the cream u can get5 but the oil like what you get in capsule form from the chemist). I prick the capsule and smear the oil on my skin. works wonders. takes longer for older scars but still works. "

" I'm using DermatixC for my scars. It is a long slow process and I know that nothing will take some of the bad ones away. This however seems to be helping some of them so far,,,,,I just need to be patient and try to remember to put it on daily as I sometimes forget. A scar is just that,,,,a scar,,,,,,and while somethings may diminish some of it,,,,,in most cases they are there for good. I am not talking about the little white lines,,,,but the bad ones.
Good-Luck with yours. "
