Time: Scars can't be removed. They can be revised to look better, but once you have a scar you will always have a scar. For best way to revise a scar you should see a plastic surgeon. Fading takes time, but can speed it up with retin-a.

Scar Treatments: Firsts, scars are permanent and all treatments can do is reduce them, although sometimes the improvements are dramatic. I can't recommend any home remedies, but there are some food treatments available. Seek a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon for evaluation.
