Is vitamin k helpful for getting rid of red scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scars are permanent!: But redness in scars usually fades over 6-12 months, and can be lightened by laser treatment if needed. Vitamin k is a fat-soluble vitamin needed for proper blood clotting, but not considered helpful for scars. Vitamin e oil massage can help scars soften and fade, but all scars are permanent (and cocoa butter is just about as good as vit e). Avoid ultraviolet when scars pink to avoid turning brown.
