Scar Treatment
Posted: 07-21-08 20:37pm

I am a preemie, I was born at 1 pound 2 ounces. The only way I could get food and air to breathe was through an IV in my neck. It left a scar there and it never faded completely. I have gone to many consultations from surgeons about getting the scar removed, but from what they say, they do not have the technology yet to completely vanish a scar, without taking skin from another part of your body, or taking out the skin which is scarred and closing it, - without making a new scar. This has caused me a lot of insecurities of leaving my neck bare, and when people ask questions of what it is.
Does anyone know of any treatments or information of what I can do?
