Improve, not remove.: All scars fade with time, but scars cannot be removed. There is a large variety of techniques to improve their appearance, both surgical and non-surgical. See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon (board-certified) to begin your search for an appropriate course of action. Good luck!

Several options: You cannot erase scars. Poor scars can be improved through the following methods: 1) scar massage 2) silicone sheeting (a kind of silicone tape you where over the scar) 3) steroid injections 4) laser treatment (helps remove coloring) 5) scar revision (removing the scar and starting over).
