Syring left me with facial scars

Posted By Ashley (Bellevue, Washington) on 10/19/2011

I have a scar on my face, made by a syringe. Right when I was born, the doctor took me out and accidentaly dropped it on me.... Scars we get when we are young rarely heal so I was wondering if you guys knew a remedy or an ointment. My sister also hurt herself by accident when she was one and she still has a scar on her hand. Most of the ointments work on scars that can be repaired, but on mine, none work because skin isn't that elastic when we are small and won't grow back the same way... I would do anything for a solution! Please help!

Hi Ashley, It may be worth looking into serrapeptase as it appears to be used for keloid scars with some success. I have seen quite good results with someone who has abdominal surgery scars (30 yr old scars) best described as hypertrophic not keloid. They are not gone but greatly reduced. Their large smallpox scar is also almost not sightable, this scar was atrophic by nature. All this to say not sure which form your scar takes but serrapeptase may help lessen it. I remember seeing a post here where someone had success with applying ACV. Although I imagine you have tried most of these remedies. https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/scar.html#RN_65480

If you do find something that works please let us know. I am still trying to find out if serrapeptase can be taken by someone who has had an hernia repair with the mesh left in as pat of the repair so if someone knows or has some thoughts I would love to know. All the best.

I would try coconut oil. I use it for many things, but it has been lessening my 9 year old stretch marks from having my son. If you read on here about coconut oil, you will see there is a section on scar healing etc... From my experience it works well. Good Luck!

How much serrapeptase do you take? What is the dosage? I have ureteral scarring from kidney stones---do you you know if serrapeptase would help? Thank you.
