I have question about the scars or marks on skin. I think about 2 years ago, my skin was very dry and I would scratch a lot. Sometimes I even scratch some parts of my body too and even cause pain. Since I have applied lotion to my skin and I am not itchy anymore. However, the black marks or scars of skin stay on my body. How long does it take to disappear? Should I apply some scar removal cream?

Hello. Scars these days have got many ways of treatment. Varies from person to person, depending upon the skin type, scar maturity, length, position and width. The treatment might vary from few lightening creams, compression, silicon treatment, superficial dermabrasion, dermarolling, fat grafting to the scar revision surgeries. Personal examination or atleast the complete details of the scar might help in suggesting the suitable treatment. You can consult me online with the pictures as well. Thank you.
