unfortunately there are no effective ways to remove the scar without a surgical procedure. if you have a permanent scar since infancy all of the creams and over-the-counter scar removal concoctions are not going to help. you will not lose the scar; just money. see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist for a consultation. you will find that many of these cosmetic procedures are less-expensive then getting a dent fixed in your car. a plastic surgeon can literally cut out some scars in the office under a local anesthesia. a dermatologist can do the same or use a technique called dermabrasion where the scar is more or less "sanded off" (after a local anesthesia of course) and the body is given a second chance to heal without a scar this time. each scar is different so the recommended procedure may be one of these or an entirely different approach. it does cost very much for a consultation so consider doing it.
i have a scar that i am insecure about. when i was an infant i came across a lighter and placed it near my face which burnt my forehead. thou surgery wasnt performed i still have a scar that is about 2-3 inches long. i would really like to find a solution to how i could get rid of it without plastic surgery?
