Many scars on the : Back of the hand fade over time. Some scars depending upon the direction, the thickness and the cause as well as the person can continue to thicken. Scar creams, massage, compression devices made by a hand therapist, avoidance of sun exposure that can increase pigmentation, and time can change many scars. Most scars on the back of the hand fade over time.
