How to decrease scar tissue

Posted By Antoniette (Harrison, New York) on 07/19/2011

I've had numerous nasal reconstructions and have horrific scar tissue in my nose. What can you recommend to decrease scar tissue?

I have a book where the author talks about very good results with vitamin E for scars. She used to be a nurse.... I tried on a scar on my hand but I didn't see much improvement. I have a wide, flat one, maybe if they are kelloid scars you see more changes. Mine doesn't bother me, I just tried out of curiosity. I have had it for most of my life and no one even notices it although it is not that small. Maybe you can try to massage vitamin oil on them a few times a day?

I know that msm can decrease scar tissue. You can take it in powder form internally or use it as a cream on the skin over the scar tissue. I know extensive use of it eliminated scar tissue for myself. It won't happen overnight though! Hope this helps.
