Nope!: Toothpaste is the best for brushing your teeth with. Wallgreen's might have some over the counter ointments of some sort to help diminish scars. Yo would have to ask any dermatologist about the treatment including laser. Good luck.

Not at all: Tooth paste as the name says just for brushing teeth as it contain abrasive materials that can actually cause more skin irritations. The best for that would be homeopathic meds. From whole foods stores that has natural ingredients that can actually remove or diminish scar tissues.

No: Also note that homeopathic remedies are placebo only: a waste of money. If you need help see a dermatologist..

No: Toothpaste may actually be irritating to your skin. See a dermatologist for assistance. Take care.

NO!: Very bad advice. Can actually cause a burn-like reaction. T'paste is formulated to be used INSIDE the mouth, not on the skin. Can leave permanent scars. Please see a Specialist Dermatologist (skin doctor) for the most efficient, least effective, treatment.
