have you tried aloe vera, some say it can remove some scar to some extent but not completely, and it also good for skin, hair, even for body health if you eat aloe vera, I'm pretty sure its not expensive, maybe you can try this one. its good for acne too. you can find aloe vera in supermarket maybe or some other market. good luck for you. hope this will help

I think I heard petroleum jelly or vaseline is good for scar. I heard this couple talking about its wonder because her husband has recently removed his tatoos. And infairness to him, his scar looks very good. It didn't looked like a tatoo was removed, a big one ha. So try to use them. You'll see maybe.(^^,LOL) But usually it will go away eventually if its a mosquite bite scar. Have a nice day Cheenly! (^^,)

hello, there!
your write up really caught my attention. i know how sad it feels having those scars in your legs. there is one good product that i know, it is not expensive. have you heard of honey bees wax? why don't you try that product. it really works. or did you try waxing your legs? sometimes waxing helps, it lightens the dark spots in your skin. that's the only best product i have tried that may help you too. good luck

I have heard that rubbing lemon juice on a scar can help make it fade slightly, but I havent tryed it.
I think that dermabrasion, (at a beauty salon),may remove the top layer of skin and possibly help too. If thats too expensive, perhaps offering to be a customer for a beauty student offering this service at a college would be free.

In regards to scars what you have to do is to massage the area so that the skin can move around if you know what I mean they call it split around so that more circulation goes to the area and that is the way you get rid of scars. Also you can use some petroleum jelly or oil when you do this so that it helps the area to make it disappear.

I know that wal-mart sells stuff that is suppose to help remove scars. Never tried it but on the box they guarantee it will fade most scars.

If it's a mark from a mosquito bite that you scratched,then don't worry about it.Your immune will make it disappear.If you want to make it disappear quicker ,you could use some cosmetic ointment.We have one called 'No Marks' here that has worked well for people who used it.You could ask a local chemist to suggest an ointment thats available at your place.

Is it a little scar ? I suggest you wear a vitamin E oil or some body oil. They usually help to remove little scar that went for a long time. Rub it about two or three times a day. At morning, after bath and before went to bed. I hope it helps.

Scaraway silicone gel patches are great. Works for old or new scars from surgeries, burns abrasions, skin trauma...worked great for my c-section scar. Just apply the thin sheet on your skin daily either at night or during the day. It is self adhesive (but not sticky or ouchy like a bandaid))I have heard it works miracles. Got mine at amazon.com Good luck girls! :)

I have those as well. I have very sensitive skin when it comes to insect bites. I used to go camping 4 times a year and i was the favorite of all the mosquitoes and other insects even though i have insect repellent with me. I still have those marks but they are lighter now. i've tried vitamin e oil but that doesn't work for me. So now i only take it as it is. :(

Try australian tea tree oil. Great for diminishing scars and repelling fleas and mosquitoes, not to mention antibacterial properties to prevent infection when u do get bitten. There's also citronella oil for preventing bites and repellents with deet, but they dun smell too great.

Mederma is the best thing out there for getting rid of scars.

Well, first of all, try contacting your doctor. He might help you.
I use a special kind of paste (I don't know if it's paste... It might have some other name in English). It is really good, it helps to close Scars and all this stuff. The name here is "Minancora".
But the best would be to contact a doctor or someone specialized.
