A member asked:

I have scars from bug bites and they are very dark and i have tried everything what do you recommend i use to get rid of these scars please help me.

Lighter with time : There is not much to offer for scars. The usual aloe Vera creams can be tried. Just with time the scars will get lighter. Best is to avoid more bug bites by taking all precautions.
