Brief Answer:
Creams can give partial results only.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Kjoic acid cream will lighten the scars gradually in 3-4 months. For better and instant results you can get laser dermabrasion done under the guidance of a dermatologist.
You can apply Glycolic acid cream available over the counter for short term (6 weeks) DEMELAN / GLYAHA at night. You should use SUNCROSS-SPF30 sun screen lotion while going out in the sun. However AHA and Glycolic acid peeling is the most promising treatment done once in two months by the Dermatologist. I do not think any cream would give you convincing results. If you do not wish to waste time and money consulting competent Dermatologist for chemical peeling helps.
Vitamin A and Vitamin E rich foods are advised for more beneficial results. Green leaves, dark colored vegetables rich in carotene and other flavenoids are advised at least five times a week.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
