I don't know what you could cover it up with...but for the long term improvement I would suggest putting vitamin e on your scars twice daily as well as buying Mederma. It works wonders. I have this giant scar on my right leg that I've had since third grade-it has smoothed it out and made it much, much lighter. It's a bit pricey but worth it. You can find it at Walgreens, Walmart, etc.

I can't really help with the scar part, but I can make a suggestion on the scratching part. Try using a scrub of some sort in the shower/tub, for one. I personally don't like them much, so I got some exfoliating mits from The Body Shop, which I really like because they feel like I'm scratching, but they don't do any damage to my skin. Pesky ingrowns go bye bye.

Vitamin E works wonders for scars, and burns. Cocoa butter I have also heard works great (why else would so many people use it for stretch marks).
