Scars

[forever20atheart]

Hi guys, I'm new here and I noticed that the thread for scars was already locked. Anyway, if there are existing threads, feel free to merge or give the link

Anyway, my main problem is I have a burn scar on my leg, and after I got that burn mark it seemed like I gained a lot of scars on my legs so I am really embarrassed to wear shorts/dresses, no matter how hot it is.

Are there ointments? Specific treatments? Lotions? Creams?

I've used:
sebo de macho - no effect
3 whitening creams given by 2 different dermatologists - no effect
VNM bikini bomb and cpc+g - no effect

and it seems like whitening lotions/creams don't work on me.

I also have a scar sa legs, got that when I was hit by a sharp coral. I've used a lot of creams and all are expensive - one came from derma costs 2k per tube, then contractubex and the last one was dermatix. Nothing worked to lighten the scar (in fairness contractubex is really good to smoothen the scar and avoid bumps or keloid) as in hindi nawala yung darkness. And so I tried Maxipeel #3, amazingly it worked, really! Gulat talaga ko, nalighten talaga yung scar and pawala na sya and am so happy!!! 13 pesos lang pala makakalighten ng scar ko

^Really sis? Pano mo ginamit?

sis, itry mo yung contractubex or dermatrix! meron sa mercury nyan.

sobrang effective sila pero medyo pricey nga lang pero okay na rin kasi nawala yung big scar ko sa may upper breast area sa may cleavage part (que horror!) kasi nakalmot ng pusa ko.

sobrang deep pa nung sugat kasi bumaon yung claw niya. tapos mahaba ang sugat... so imaginin mo naman di ba? basta nung pa-dry na yung wound, mega apply na ako ng gamot, tapos laging may takip na gauze para hindi mapawisan at madumihan thus maganda yung pagkaheal ng sugat. mga ilang months din yun, hindi ko na napansin tapos biglang isang araw pag tingin ko sa cleavage part ko, okay na parang walang nangyari.

pag may pimple scar ako or milk scratches ng pusa ko, i use contractubex lang. itry mo muna yung contractubex sis. gamitin mo religiously.

^ add ko lang pala. religiously din ako nag aapply noon ng vitamin e...pinch mo tapos irub mo gently sa scar area. plus, umiinom din ako ng mga supplements non like grapeseed, vit e, vit c, at nilalagyan ko pa ng aloe vera yung scar. mangiyakngiyak ako non kasi parang na murder yung dib dib ko eh

[khat]

sis paano kung matagal na yung scars?matatanggal pa rin ba ng contractubex or dermatrix? i re2commend ko kasi sa sister ko,may konti kasi siya scars sa legs,at gusto niyo maalis,she keep asking me if my alam akong ointment na pang tanggal,buti na lang i saw this thread,TIA

I have a big keloid scar on my tummy from two CS operations and one other operation, plus a big scar near my navel for a surgery to take out a mole.  My ob-gyne used to inject steroid on the scar from the CS operations to flatten it.  That was effective but I found out that it's more effective if you take a laser treatment. For my keloid scars, I needed about four sessions.  After the scar is flattened, you can try to apply pure, unrefined shea butter on it.  Pure unrefined shea butter is effective in fading scars if diligently applied.

^ hmm in my experience sis natanggal ng contracubex yung old scars ko sa legs, old pimple scars, at mga cat scratches. pero 2x to 3x ako nag aapply religiously, kelangan nakaligo na ako bago ako mag lalagay.

ayun shempre hindi over night miracle, tiyagaan talaga. since mas mura yung contractubex (600 php plus ata) yun nalang try mo, yung dermatrix kasi mas mahal so next time nalang yun. yung contractubex na yun ay would last up to 6 months or more pa nga eh. bali pinch lang ang pag lagay tapos i-rub mo gently in circular motion sa skin para ma-absorb talaga ng skin.

nag-try din ako ng maxipeel #3 before, that time bago pa lang yung scar ko,dahil sa pigsa ko. pero di sya effective sakin, nagpi-feel lang yung skin around the scar, pero maitim pa rin yung scar ko.
more than 1 year na rin me gumamit ng cebo de macho, sobrang wala din effect.
ngaun try ko yung rosehip oil. hopefully maging successful na dito. pero feeling ko nag-i-improve naman sya kahit pakonti-konti.

ok,thank you sis,nasabi ko na sa kanya,hopefully mag work naman,ang dati niya kasi gamit yung erase daw,yung naka lagay sa small bottle ata yun,kaya lang hindi daw nag work sa kanya,parang nagka rashes pa daw ata,

sis try mo gamitin kojie-san soap on your legs. concentrating on the burned area. if kaya mong tiisin yung stinging sensation, leave it on for 3 minutes. then buy skingent #3 ng hortaleza md. you can buy this sa hbc stores. according to the label u only use it at night. pero kasi it was formulated na magamit sa face but its very VERY potent. so since sa legs mo naman gagamitin which has a thicker skin than your face, i suggest you apply it 3 times a day. once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before you sleep. use the kojie-san at least twice a day. avoid scratching kasi makati yan once magstart na magdry your skin. pero most likely maglighten ang scar mo jan. my pimple scars na sobrang dark sa face ko nawala na because of that so wala naman mawawala if you try. be sure to use lotion after kasi drying yan. good luck!

Careful sa mga peeling or exfoliating agents kasi minsan mas lalong nagdadarken yung scars..
I tried Contractubex, Sebo De Macho, Palmer's, and lots of bleaching creams from dermas..hindi naglilighten yung mga old scars ko..so im thinking, baka may kailangang procedure na dito..its depressing..i cant wear shorts or dress above the knee kahit super init..parang andumi dumi tignan kasi ng legs.. Anong procedure ba for old scars?   

[forever20atheart]

Ang daming suggestions, di ko alam kung ano uunahin ko, hehe. I tried a lot of things na, nakaka lose hope pag ayaw mawala, anyway baka itry ko yung kojie san and yung hortaleza, yung perla kasi nagtataka ako, panlaba kasi yun di ba?

joining, dats also my problem,my old scars.need help din mga sis.....

[runawaywithyou]

Contractubex nakapag heal ng scars ng daughter ko.  Nagka chicken pox kasi last March.  Yun lang nilagay ko nung patuyo na mga sugat nya.  Kahit yung medyo lumalim na scars, umayos.

Ngayon, bumalik na sa normal ang skin nya.  Parang walang nangyari.  Effective sa kanya contractubex 

Update ko kayo kung effective din sya sa keloid.  Halos 2wks on and off ko pa lang sya ginagamit, kasi minsan nakakalimutan ko.  Pero napansin ko nag lighten yung color ng keloid ko sa left arm and medyo nag flatten ng konti.  Sana mag tuloy tuloy

Nako yang ERase na yan.. Wa effect. Nag try ako sa armpit ko before at ayun, nag cause pa sya ng foul smell.  Yikes talaga. Simula nun, di ko na ginamit.

Sa arm ko naman, nagka scar din ako, ang ginagamit ko naman yung product ng Barenaturals na Optimum whitening solution (Serum). Around 600 din sya. Ang gusto ko dito, di talaga sya primarily pang scar, serum talaga sya for face. Kaya parang tipid na din, kasi yung excess na product sa face, ipinapahid ko na din sa scar para di sayang. And to my surprise, nakaka lighten nga.
