Medicated creams or gels can always work. They can be easily purchased over-the-counter and they tend to work best right after you injure yourself. Corticosteroid cream can help prevent scarring and has been shown to reduce the appearance of scars over time.

Silicone gel spreads easily, dries quickly, doesn't irritate sensitive skin, and prevents the growth of bacteria. Research shows that silicone gel reduces a scar's texture, color, and height and it keeps the skin hydrated and lets it breathe, so scars can soften!

Chemical peels can reduce the visibility of scaring, especially on the face. They remove the top layers of skin to get rid of surface scars and bring deeper scars closer to the surface. When the skin peels off, the new skin may temporarily be reddish, sore, or swollen. It can take a week or more for that skin to go back to normal.

Coconut Oil has an extremely large amount of skin benefits. The fatty acids that it contains causes cell reproduction and can also stand against bacteria. All of these things might help when it comes to shrinking scars but be careful because too much of it topically can cause clogged pores and breakouts.
