Maymaybe: It might help if you have discoloration but if you have true scars the you will need to discuss treatment options with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon. This usually includes punch grafts, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and chemical peels.

No: Nothing can remove a scar. Vitamin c might help reduce scarring in a wound that is healing but it will have no effect on an existing scar. There is no real evidence that vitamin c will help scarring except in people who have a deficiency -and that is rare in the developed world. Scar revision surgery or lasers may help reduce the visibility of scars but they will no remove a scar.
