Question 1

is palmer's scar serum cocoa butter formula will help to reduce my newly formed (before 1 month)1 mm depth 3 mm width depressed scar?

Accepted Answer

Don't waste your $$: This tiny scar will improve with time. Depending on your age, the nature of the wound, and other factors, it may take up to a year for full maturation. Unless the scar becomes prominent and higher than the skin, no topical preparation is likely to do anything except empty your wallet.

Question 2

hello, i have pimples and scars. what can i use to get rid of it between queen helene and queen elizabeth cocoa butter?

Accepted Answer

A few options: For over the counter methods try using products that have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol, and acetone. For prescription treatments you may be prescribed antibiotics, retinoids or vitamin a derivatives, azelaic acid, oral contraceptives, or spironolactone. Always ask a dermatologist about the possible affects and the risks vs benefits of each treatment. Make sure it's best for you.

Question 3

is cocoa butter can eliminate or make the scars less noticeable? i have a penis scar i bought vaseline cocoa butter bec. they say that it's effective

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Keeping healing skin hydrated and healthy is the best solution to reducing scarring. Scarring is a physiologic reaction that is more intrinsic than extrinsically controlled.

Question 4

i have scars across my shoulder and upper chest from shingles blusters. will mederma or cocoa butter help fade them?  thank you.

Accepted Answer

May not fade complet: It may not fade  completely ever.

Question 5

is palmres cocoa butter  formula with vitamin e  or pure cocoa butter will helpful for1 mm depth 3mm radius  small  depressed scar on face?

Accepted Answer

Facial scar : Massage is helpful for most scars, to soften them.  Using cocoa butter or vitamin E can help moisturize the scar.  Neither will help remove a scar though.  Your scar is small enough that it might make sense to have it surgically treated (in office under local anesthesia).  See a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Question 6

does aloe vera gel, cocoa butter lotion, or vitamin e oil heal mild scars on the face and body?

Accepted Answer

Possible: There is no proven scar healer out there that I am aware of, keeping the area clean and soft should help with decreasing the amount of scar build up.  I have always thought that sunblock for the first year on a scar is important to avoid excessive scarring as sun damage can exacerbate a scar.  Most scars overtime though do improve, the body usually does a good job at healing itself.

Question 7

i burned my breast by leaving a hot hand warmer under it to keep warm to long. now its blistered and i've been using alcohol to clean or germ x spray, alone vera gel to help heal and cocoa butter for scar reduction. it's been 1 week?

Accepted Answer

: I'm sorry to hear about this problem, but can you clarify what you are asking?  Is your question about scar formation or something else?

Question 8

does cocoa butter help reduce the look of stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

No: Cocoa butter does nothing to prevent or conceal the appearance of stretch marks.

Question 9

is cocoa butter good for sunburn?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not.: Keep sunburn cool with moist cool/cold compresses.  Avoid alcohol containing products.  Break off pieces of aloe vera plant & apply sap to  skin.  Consider non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds to reduce pain.  Don’t yank off peeling skin or burst blisters. Seek medical care for severe pain, fever, lack of improvement of symptoms within several days or if a large surface area is blistered.

Question 10

is cocoa butter a tropical antibiotic ?

Accepted Answer

Foods of the Gods: Cocoa butter can be produced through extraction of natural fatty acids from cacao seeds. The cacao pod is harvested and goes into series of processes until obtaining that precious cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is an excellent moisturizer for the skin.
