What are some good lotions for scar removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not "removal!": Sorry, but no lotion can remove a scar. Scars can be improved, however, by massage, and several different products have been tested and are known to help. Cocoa butter, Vitamin E, and a commercial product called Mederma all will help smooth and flatten scars and speed the reduction of redness. It is firm massage that matters, though, not which of these you use (once your surgeon says it is OK!)
