I would advise first call a decent fully qualified beutician. I know it sounds naff but my sister in law is one & does stuff with scarring & broken veins. One of our nurses wanted some treatment & she was honest enough to look & advise it was needing more than she could do. She referred her to a (private) dermatologist.

If your skin is sensitive to start with I'd worry about doing it wrong my self

Bio-Oil is AMAZING stuff!! Use it on a scar I have on my wrist from a bad injury by a cat and its faded it quite a bit!! It smells nice too!

If you buy philosophy (or any other product thro) QVC you get a 30 day money back guarantee even if you use the whole jar/bottle.

Would bio-oil be any good for the scars you have?

I have an idea that the red cross has a special dept that treats scarring. May be worth looking into.

Hi sarah,

Have you went to any of the beauty clinics, some now are specialising in this area of dermatology. Not full on dermabrasion, but prescription "type" peels.
