Re: scaring............yikes

THere is an over the counter scar cream for children. Will it work on adult skin I am not aware of. For the most part, scarring is just that scars. Laser surgery might help. But I wouldnt chance even that. Best ofluck! I have a big scar on my arm. Its a reminder to me where I've been and where I dont want to go again. I call it my battle scar. The battle I won with the Lord's help!
