scar cream - #19846

Kimaya

I am really stressed out about this scar I have on my leg. A few months ago I had an accident while biking, and now there’s this ugly scar that just won't go away. It’s kinda big and dark, you know? I’ve tried some over-the-counter scar creams, like, the ones they advertise on TV, but honestly, I’m not sure if they’re doing anything. I’m wondering about scar cream, does anyone here have experience with those? I read that some creams work better than others, but then there’s also the whole thing about how it can take time to really see results, like, how long should I expect? Plus, my cousin said something about silicone scar cream being the best option? Is that true? Like, what makes that one better? I’m worried, what if it doesn’t fade? I feel super self-conscious about it, especially in summer when shorts are a must. Anyway, if anyone has found scar cream that worked really well, please let me know! Do certain ingredients in scar creams make a difference? Could I be making it worse by trying different products too fast?
