How to minimize a scar

I was operated on my leg due to a fracture. My external fixator was removed a few days ago and it has left dark 5 dark scars on my leg.. Is there a remedy to minimize it?

Over time the scar will hopefully fade. At the moment it is important to apply sunblock to prevent hyper pigmentation.

Once the wound has healed completely you could gently massage the area using a scar cream e.g. Palmers scar serum.

St. John's Wort Oil! Type it up with the word "scars" in your search engine and offer yourself a treat. I've read that it can do wonders for Caesarean section scars, which among the ugliest.

If you want to purchase some, make sure that you obtain it fresh from a dependable local herborist. The oil should be a vivid red color. If the oil isn't fresh, it loses its medicinal properties due to oxydation.

Best of luck,

Greg.
