Few months back I started having itches all over my arms, stomach and leg, and due to continuous itching I got scar/ marks all over my body. It feels embarrassing and also hampering my image in society. A doctor concluded that its Scabies and another said it Prurigo. Had too many tabs and applied creams. Currently, I do not suffer from itching except from some rare times. But scars/marks are clearly visible.

Although some natural ingredients like vitamin E oil, tea tree oil, cocoa butter or coconut oil may help reducing the scars. But these oils should not be applied to open wounds as these can also increase the risk of infection, which in turn would increase the chances of scarring. So proper wound care is recommended to prevent scars post treatment. You must keep your wounds and bruises clean and dry. Immediately consult a doctor, in case you find any signs of infection such as redness, bruises or fever. Usually Naturasil cream is prescribed for reducing scars, as it contains lot of natural ingredients like chamomile flower oil and helicrysum flower oil that reduce inflammation. Rose hip seed oil and carrot seed oil regenerate damaged skin. It also contains tea tree oil that has antiseptic properties to prevent further infection. But you must always consult your physician before applying any cream or lotion on your scarring and be very careful even after your complete treatment. Don?t apply anything that could worsen the scars or irritate your skin more.
