A member asked:

Is topical kelocote and mederma are good for newly formed inward scar or depressed scar ( scar 1mm depth inwardly from surface), ?

Not really: This is more for scar lightening and massaging the scar, inward scar may require a filler to fill it in or in some cases a minor surgery to correct it.

Cocco butter: Cocco butter with gentle massage 4 times daily, may provide an even better treatment. Good luck from nyc.

See plastic surgeon: Without seeing your scar, it's hard to recommend treatment. I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon who can help you. Regarding kelocote, there is a better product on the market it is called biocorneum. It is from the makers of kelocote, but it has the silicones in a gel, with the added bonus of a spf30 sunblock. You need to get the biocorneum from a plastic surgeon.
