Question 3

Scar: I don't know about the product you mention.  Vitamin E oil (sold in a little bottle at the drug store) can be applied to the scar and it may lighten or remove the scar, even an old one.  No guarantees.  Peace and good health.

No: Scars can be improved in appearance, but not removed, as they are permanent.

Question 5

how do scars develop on corneas, is there any prevention or scar removal medicine?

Accepted Answer

Wound healing cornea: Severe damage to cornea tissues may result in scar formation.  As there is no circulation within the cornea, wound healing is often outside the tissue with limited regenerative abilities.  Often requires corneal transplant if extent of damage or scar accumulation is found.  Abrasions can heal without scar tissue, but usually not full thickness damage.

Question 8

i hives or something, it looks like a hives but its kinda color brown. what cream should i use? should i use scar removal cream?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: Proper treatment would require knowing what it is you are trying to treat. Hives are an allergic phenomenon that disappear when the triggering factor is gone. They require no treatment. The description is too vague to suggest a real label. If it bothers you have it looked at. Any treatment without knowing what you are treating is unlikely to matter.

Question 9

any good tips for scar removal?

Accepted Answer

Improve, not remove.: Scars cannot be removed but there is a large variety of techniques to improve their appearance, both surgical and non-surgical. They also improve with time. See a dermatologist or board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your options.

Good luck!

Question 10

what is the outcome for scar removal?

Accepted Answer

Usually favorable.: Scars can be tricky. A scar would need to be carefully evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who should be able to tell you if he or she honestly feels the scar can be improved with scar revision surgery.
