Can't use bio oil because i'm allergic to it. apart from laser treatment, what are my options?

No, if allergic!: Good afternoon, bio‐oil is a specialist moisturizing oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging and dehydrated skin, according to the claims made by the manufacturers. I did not come across any research that confirms the claim. However, if you are allergic to it, you can get into more problems by using it. Please consult with a dermatologist.
