Hello,

To remove scars from the face, you can apply Mederma Advanced Scar Gel. Apply a thin layer on the area affected after cleaning it. Do not get exposed to sunlight, avoid going outdoors when you have applied the cream. Stay indoors. For better results you can consult a dermatologist, laser therapy is very effective.

You can also try natural methods of scar removal like use of honey, milk, lemon in a paste with sandal wood powder applied two times a day as a face pack. Aloe vera face packs are also effective but may take time. Avoid using chemical cosmetics or make up for a couple of days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
