    Take vitamin C. People who take vitamin c have a much faster healing time.

    Hi AThiefAWhoreAndALiar

    Thanks for posting.

    Treatment for scars is generally not recommended in the first year, but the answer to this question should give you some good pointers.

    In the long run, there are treatments available to to reduce the visibility of scars. Hopefully this article will be useful for finding out more info on this.

    Let us know how you get on :)

    Give Bio oil a try. It helps with scars and stretch marks. Quite pricey, and it takes a couple of months for it to really make a difference, but it does work.
