Whats the best scar treatment

I had mild to moderate acne for about one year and the doctor prescibed me benzaclin, which kind of worked. Now i barely have acne and there are s couple scars left. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? They are not recently formed, they're about six months old.

Get the vitamin E capsules that have the oil inside them, they're suppose to be good for scars. Or you could try cocoa butter, or bio oil. I've heard bio oil is the best, but it's different for every person. Go to your local chemist, they always have heaps of different products and ask them. They won't go away immediately, but time and vitamin E they will.

What type of skin do you have, oily,dry,flaky,normal,etc. I have oily skin so what do you think would work the best, bio oil, cocoa butter, or vitamin e.

I don't know what would work the best for you, you would be better off asking a pharmacist. Sorry

Re: Whats the best scar treatment

where do buy these vitamin E pills from. Also is it better to apply the vitamin E directly on the scar instead of taking the pill or how does it work. So far ive been using the acne free scar eraser and the camilla oil. But its to early to tell if im getting results. Im thinking about going to a derm but i never been to one so im pretty nervous. If they prescribe me with medication do i buy it for there or do i have to go to a pharmacy.
