scar reduction creams

I need to reduce some of my scars before June. Is there any scar reduction creams anyone knows about or had tried that works fast. I realy need to know so I can start it before too long.

I do and I don't. My family doesn't know of my cutting and I never want them to know. I cover my scars with a watch every day and I think I will need to take it off soon. I don't want anyone to see the scars the way they are now, deep purple with scars going every way on my wrist.
I love looking at my scars, they remind me of who I am and what I have become. I never want them reduced in any way but in this case, the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the one. I know my family would die if they ever saw the scars.
Can someone please tell me what the best way to reduce the appearence of scars is? Thank you

Mederma is expensive, but it's rated as the #1 scar reduction product. Good luck.

A tube of Mederma is about $17, and lasts for a really long time. You can get it with sunscreen or without. Sun is the worst thing you can expose your scars to in terms of not promoting healing. Keep sunscreen on it at all times.

Mederma is working very well on my scars-- my dermatologist recommended it-- you don't need anything prescription. Mederma is over the counter.
