    Thanks ladies ! sounds like vitamin E capsules are the way to go !

    Vitamin E is the cheapest, i haven’t heard much positive reviews from those expensive scar reducing gel like mederma yet.

    I had partial success when trying to reduce a massive longstanding scar with John Plunkett Vita E Oil. Here are the reviews for it:

    I still have some of the scar remaining, but I will probably next treat the scar using vitamin E oil in capsules form.

    I’m so glad I stumbled across this thread. I’ve been looking for a solution as well.
    I’ve tried coconut oil, bio oil and thick creams and nothing seems to help. Looks like I will the Vitamin E capsules a go. Thanks

    I agree with Seashell’s recommendation of Vitamin E capsules – this is what my doctor recommended to me after a burn and it prevented a nasty scar. It is important start treating as soon as possible.

      Thanks Chicklet i will definitely start using them straight away 🙂

    I’d suggest pure Vitamin E in oil form, but in a capsule you can break open. I had a scar from skin cancer surgery & my dermatologist recommended that I apply it to my scar every night & massage it in for a good 5 minutes. I did it over the course of 3 months & it worked well, but in your case it will depend on how fresh the scar is.

        From memory I think they were called Nutri-Vital or something like that. I got them from a health food store in Sydney.

    The scar will fade over time. Elasticity…love pure coconut oil.
