Scar fader what is a good scar fader? are the over-the -counter creams effective? doctor gave me a prescription for a corticosteroid - how will that work? they don't itch.

Most : Most otc scar creams aren't effective. It depends on the location and type of scar. Options might include laser treatment, kenalog (triamcinolone) injections, or scar revision. I hope that helps a little.
