You know, the funny thing is I cut my pinkie finger on my right hand (I'm right-handed), while washing a drinking glass over 30 years ago. It wasn't nearly as bad as yours, and I did absolutely nothing for it. I just looked at it to maybe post a picture, and it's so light and faded that it wouldn't even show in a photo.

The most inexpensive things to try are the aloe vera (preferably from plant leaves), natural vitamin E (d-alpha...NOT dl-alpha), just used from a punctured softgel, or lemon juice, as you say...fresh. It certainly wouldn't hurt to try, but don't expect results overnight. A couple of months with daily use might show some lightening. They say...don't expect too much and you won't be too disappointed. If you succeed, you'll be all the more pleased.

I'd try the aloe first, or a combination of all three. Aloe in the morning, lemon juice in the afternoon and natural vitamin E at night. Good luck, and let us know your progress.

Ok this is great progress you just make my day kind.

so here i go,actually the few doctors i asked about the scar told me its still healing,as its still kinda red so there is still...kinda hope hehe

ok and more good news,i bought some natural liquid vitamin e for my genital warts a month ago or two,and it was 22 euros for a small bottle,i was like wtf and i didnt even use it afterall,so now i took it out and suprise suprise, D-alpha
https://www.google.com/imgres?q=solga...1t:429,r:0,s:0

i will take it easy with the vitamin e oil and the lemon juice,but not with aloe vera...that is the plan

what they say is absolutley correct,i try to live by it,i try...

ok so i start from today,and in a month or two we will see what we did,if anyone has anything to add on this post i will appreciate it...thanks everyone and good morning(here its morning )

actually i thought about it and vitamin e oil kinda scares me bcuz of the side-effect it can cause i saw on a few websites...and the lemon i just dont think its as good as aloe vera...so anyway i go like this

Aloe Vera 2-3 times a day...Morning,Midday,Night before bed (regeneration)
Lemon juice 1 time a day
Vitamin e oil 1 time a day 1-2 drops

Everything will be applyed individually and after the hand has been cleaned so i will not be mixing the ingredients at all,except for what gets absorbed by the skin there mixing deep inside or something,so good luck to me

do you think putting surgical tape on there or a small gaze or both after appliying anything,i dont know exactly if the immune system is needed there but i read somewhere that putting tape over a wound/scar will make the immune system concentrate on there bcuz it will notice something weird and will try to fix it,or something like that,opinions? or should i let the scar breathe?

ok a small change of plans,an add lets say...

i just found and bought some manuka honey,so i will use that too + all the rest...

what do you think would be the best way to combine it all???

I don't know anything about the tape in regards to the immune system. That's always been a question for me also. It's almost impossible to keep something on the skin of the hand without somehow covering it. I would probably use the gauze with tape over it to keep it in place. Of course, some of the mixture you use will absorb into the gauze. As far as the mixture goes, just do what feels good for you, I have no particular things to recommend.

This is where BigAl's suggestion for using dry ice or Jfh's suggestion of silicon strips makes sense, nothing to rub off the skin. Whatever you try, best of luck to you.

ok thank you for everything,i will try a bit of everything and in a month or two,i report back with some pics...i did put manuka honey before sleeping with gauze and surgical tape,it feels tender to the touch now that i have removed it...

hi there

you can also try a scar lightening cream along with natural remedies. just like what my sister is doing right now. one good brand i know is Metaderm. you can check the product online. it contains no hydroquinone so it's really safe and it's made up of natural products. hope you find the best treatment for you!

thank you eartlover but i really have no more money to spend on anything unless its really really important...i will try it this way with the stuff i mentioned in the post,and we will see some pics in a month or 2,im already underway doing it all and i think it is doing something,but i really cannot know untill a few months go by,everything untill now could be just good old paranoia,so we will see...

Hi,

Honestly your scar doesn't look all that bad. It can even kind of look cool.

However, there are some laser treatments for scars- primarily fraxel laser and the v-beam laser.

Vitamin e oil works great- but only when you still have a scab and the scar is new.

Aloe vera works for burned skin or people prone to getting keloids- or raised scars. Looking at your scar, I'll say it's healed quite well. If you're really sensitive about it, I recommend either of the lasers.

I will keep doing what im already doing,for some 30 days more and then i will post pictures and stop,the scar wont go away completely but a slight improvement is better than no improvement...

After that i will accept the scar and leave it,its cool like a war survivor or something

and as far as laser treatments go maybe one day i will look into that too and do it,in the distant distant future...

I did what i said here for exactly 30 days at the end of the day...and honestly i didnt notice a difference,maybe a minor difference but nothing significant really...

so i close this chapter here,for now...and who knows with the way science is evolving and going forward maybe one day i will be able to fix it,i know its better to do it while youre young but the truth is that there is much deeper seeas than this one,if you get my metaphore

besides the scar can even look kinda cool,so that that.

I've got scars too that I want to get rid of. I think many of the topical solutions are best when the scar is fresh. I've thought about the laser skin treatments or skin grafts or other more detailed procedures to get rid of the scars. I would talk with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon to see what type of options there are.
