A member asked:
What to do if i find it hard for my scars to heal and fade. is it related if i'm anaemic?

Scars don't heal...: They are the result of healing and are permanent. They do, however, mature, i.e. With time. There are some treatments and procedures that may hasten their maturation and make their appearance less objectionable. A board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist would be a good place to start. I doubt that anemia has much influence on their maturation.
