A member asked:

How can i remove scratches or small scars cause from a pointy needle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mederma: Mederma is the only over the counter scar lightener that I know that works. Otherwise see a cosmetic doctor about lightening procedures. If the scar are new, keep them out of the sun and give them some time, they may go away on their own.
