Vitamin E Oil: Scar massage with vitamin E oil or cream can help to reduce scars on the skin. Scarring within the knee itself will respond to range of motion exercises and stretching.

Knee scars: Scar inside the knee is usually treated with physical therapy under the guidance of an orthopedic surgeon. Be certain to follow-up with your orthopedic surgeon to be certain you are getting the correct treatment.
