Spec me a Scar Cream?

boycey321 · 19 Sep 2016 at 13:41

I recently bashed my head and has given myself a nice 2 inch scar above my eyebrow - i should have had stitches but didn't

Just wondering if anyone has experience with scar creams - do they work and if so which one to buy? Just don't want to waste money on a product which doesn't work a bit like all these teeth whitener products (obviously i know my scar won't 100% disappear)

Thanks in advance

Leave it and proclaim you won a fight against 3 blokes and only got cut once.

Profit as bishes love scars.

Scars are manly, unless they're stretch marks.

Bio Oil is great for scars. Not cheap though.

Stretch marks? nah bud fought a tiger and he tried to rip my guts out.

Another Bio oil recommendation here, you're looking at a timeframe of months before it'll start making a noticeable difference though.

I know of women who use stretch mark creams after having kids, which I'm told is along the same lines. Aparently it can lessen them, but not remove them.

How recent was it?
I've had scars that took a few years to fade, but are now almost invisible.

Could you maybe chuck on some round glasses and pass yourself off as Harry Potter?

G1 version - scared me when he was a ghost though.

Nah, having a 6" scar on the back of my head/neck I can confirm that no cream in the world will make it disappear or even make smaller.

Once the healing process is already over and it's a scar, there's not really anything you can do.

I have a similar scar above my eyebrow.

I used Bio Oil for a while and then gave up (out of laziness), over time it will probably fade, mine is pretty noticeable, however it doesn't look awful.

Can confirm 10/10 does not get you laid.

Bio Oil is great for more things than just scars wink wink.

Also, your story from now on is that you were saving children from a burning orphanage.

Pretty much this.

I remember seeing a thing about a roller that was being trialled for treating scars, looked like it was a roller frull of tiny needles, wether it works or not though i have no idea.

surely for being cut once it would be at least 6 of them and it wasn't a fist it was a baseball bat you took to the head and laughed.

So about the same length of time as for it to start fading naturally then...

You could try putting some green quartz on it, works even better if you dilute it a few million times

As someone who has a 3" running vertically down my forehead (never interrupt your big cousin when he's with his girlfriend ... and avoid slammed doors), I can honestly say it will fade in time.

Star scream? I never liked him. Bit of a pansy.

Also...it's a small scar, are you really that bothered by something like that?

My body is covered in them, i have no problem at all removing my top. Have a small one on my face under my eye, about half an inch long. It's faded to the point where people only see it when I point it out. Even before then I wasn't bothered by it.
Kinda get the point if you've suffered severe burns but for anything else, why bother?

I think some of this might work.

Once a scar is there it'll fade over time, I doubt that there is much that can help it fade significantly faster.

Just live with it, i done it for the last 25 years.

Nothing works to be honest but they do fade in time.

Be proud of your scars they all have a story behind them and everyone knows chicks dig scars.
