Another silicone based treatment which may be worth considering is Scarguard ScarCare which has also been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of scars which are decades old.

On a case by case basis, maybe. "Clinically Proven" doesn't necessarily mean it will work for everyone. But it never hurts to try. I myself have one that's 13 years old and wont go away w/ any kind of treatment. It's a large one on my thigh so I never wear shorts or skirts above the knee anymore.

No treatment is ever effective in 100% of cases but silicone semi-occlusive dressings are highly effective for most people who have used them You can see some of the abridged clinical trial data for Cica-Care here

Have you actually tried Cica-Care for several months continuously yourself or are you just assuming that it won't work for you because nothing else has?

Do you also have a realistic expectation of what is possible? Treatments may do a lot to reduce the appearance of scars (often to the point where they aren't really noticeable to people who aren't looking for them) but they won't make them vanish completely. The key word is "reduction".

These are great tips. can the Cica-Care be prescribed by my Dr?
cause I noticed it is expensive.

That's something that you'll have to ask your doctor! It may very well be possible though so it's worth trying for.

I wouldn't say it if I hadn't.
And yes reduction is the "key" word.

Plastic Surgery! If I can afford is someday, or better yet work for one

I talked to a Dr about fixing the scar and he said I would have to put a balloon in my ankle and slowly stretch the skin so there would be enough skin to make a good repair. I am sending a link if you are not squeamish you can look at my original injury. This scar did not heal and all the skin under the scabs began to die. I do not have a current pic cause I just had yet another (3 total) surgery in the same spot. the doctor was unable to improve the appearance of it this time around either

Not squeamish at all - I went to medical school (but sadly ran out of money before I got anywhere near finishing ) - it certainly looks more like the sort of scarring that would benefit from a non-mesh skin graft or balloon repair.

In the meantime, check out some of the camouflage products.

I hope the healing from your latest surgery goes well.

Microdermabrasion is possibly your best bet of the scars are pitted.

Arbonne Thermal Fusion! I know I've recommended it before but it is because it WORKS! Use it 5 days in a row a week and it is incredible. It really diminshed my stretch marks and it helps with scars and cystic acne too.

Aloe Vera gel on those scars everynight! Ive been doing it for a year now and its helped me soo so much

My roommate uses this specific lotion meant to clear acne scars. I can't think of the exact name, but it is a vitamin K lotion... it may even be named Vita-K.
