Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Jo, There are a lot of things that can help scars. I'm working on a surgical scar that's 6 years old already, but you'll probably have more luck starting sooner than that! Soaking in a tub with oats can help the itching. I haven't tried it, sounds messy. Calendula cream-- very soothing Echinacea tincture if there's any infection; also turmeric made into a paste but it'll turn your skin bright yellow.. hey, could be kinda fun :-) Thiosinaminum-- a homeopathic cream that's specific for scars Also homeopathic treatment by a professional can help the various effects of the trauma. Sounds like yours isn't a deep wound, but with a deep wound, you don't want it to heal over on top before the tissues underneath have healed, otherwise you get a perfect environment for infection.
