" viatamin E
Drinking lemon water, or just alot of water helps scars heal realy fast
neosporin while they are healing helps prevent scars
they silicon patches gets rid of scars once healed if a mark is still left it only brings the puffyness down tho so that is for real bad scars
hmmmm yep thats all i can think of "

" I was recently talking to my friend about what I should do about mine because mine are a really deep red... she told me that her doctor told her that neosporin might make the scars worse? Has anyone else heard that? I don't know... I've heard a lot about vitamin E being good. "
