I wipe my boo boos with rubbing alcohol
and use triple anti-biotic but I never
seen to heal very well. I'm always left
with dark marks.
What works for you?

My dermatologist recommended Mederma but I
never use it because it is so expensive
and she told me it could take a few months
to see any improvement so I figure its not
even worth it. I did try laser skin
resurfacing which is used for people with
wrinkles as my dermatologist highly
recommended for my deep scars, but its
like 200 dollars upfront and not covered
by insurance. Plus I would have needed 5
treatments with the lasers so that would
have really added up! Anyways, I've been
pretty much sticking with my scars as it
takes me years for them to fade away by
themselves. A good tip to remember is to
make sure you put on a light SPF
moisturizer when going outside or that sun
will make the scars even darker and harder
to fade away!
