Natural Remedies for Scars and Scar Tissue

Vitamin E is wonderful for scars! I had a bike accident and got road rash on my right arm, above the elbow. I went to urgent care to get it cleaned properly, and followed their directions for wound healing, but as SOON as it was all new skin (nothing open) I began applying Vitamin E oil. I found it in a small bottle at the expensive grocery store in the vitamin section.

I rubbed it on the new skin three to four time a day, especially after a shower or bath, and at bedtime. It's been one month since the crash and you can hardly see where the road rash was. I think it's helping with the lumpy painful bone bruise, too.

I also took a LOT of Vit C (4000-5000 mg/day) and I think that helped too.

Absolutely LOVE this site - I read this thread and thought I would add my 2 cents worth - When I was in my 20s I fell off a small boat which had a piece of metal that caught the back of my calf - not a deep cut, but a nice slice right up the middle. It healed but left a terrible scar - after about a year I did a bit of research (prior to any computers! ) and decided to try Vitamin E on the scar - I simply opened up a capsule (brand does not matter) and applied it to the scar twice a day - messy and gooey stuff, but it does absorb after an hour or so - after doing this for two weeks the scar disappeared. To this day you can't see a thing - this was 30 years ago and still my calf looks flawless! Easy to do and no side effects. Hope this helps!

To help fade the scars try Vitamin E Oil. I had very bad scars on the tops of my feet from an accident. After three years the scars were still very red, tender, and itched. I would cover the tops of my feet with the oil every night after I had washed them. After covering my feet with the oil I would put a large band aid on top of my feet to keep the oil from making a mess and keep it on my feet. I did this a couple of months and the scars faded, and was no longer tender or red. The scares are 80 to 90% better. My scars were very deep. Third degree burns. Yes, you can still see a little bit of the scar on my left foot, which was the worst. But the right foot you would never know that I had had a very bad scar there.

Vitamin E Works! I remember when I was a kid my mom had fallen on her face (she slipped on loose dirt) and scraped her face -the right cheek bone area. It looked horrible almost like a 'rug burn'. It was about the size of a quarter & dark in color (my mom was fair). Someone told her to apply liquid Vitamin E on it daily and it will fade or go away. She did this numerous times a day for about one year and it was very successful! The scar eventually faded away completly!! I as a child was amazed and never forgot that remedy for scars!

I just recently removed two moles that were on my chest area which have now turned a dark purplish color. I heard that vitamin E oil works well on them. I have been putting on the oil and rubbing it in at least 3 times a day for a week now and it seems to be working well on the scars. Has anyone used this method before and is this what how i should be applying it?
