Home Remedies White Scars

White scars may result from injury, surgery, stretch marks, acne or anything else that causes the skin to break. When the damage skin begins to heal, it sometimes loses pigmentation, so white scars are often referred to as hypopigmented. There are several ways to treat these scars, including home remedies, topical creams and procedures done in the doctor's office.

* There is no proof that home remedies for treating white scars work, but some people claim that you can get rid of your scars at home using common ingredients.

* Aloe vera is known for its healing properties, and many claim that if you rub the aloe vera gel that is commonly used on sunburns onto your scar, it will begin to go away. This method is said to work best if the scar is fairly new.

* Cocoa butter is known for its hydrating effects, and some people use it for scars as well as stretch marks that cause hypopigmentation of the skin. The key is to massage the cocoa butter into the skin where the scar is, creating friction. This massage action, along with the hydrating properties of the cocoa butter, is supposed to encourage your scarred skin to heal completely.
