Scar removal bandages

I Have Tried Everything from Creams, Gels, Bandages and Lotions
Two years ago I was bitten by a spider on my lower thigh. This wouldn't have been a huge problem except after the itchy mark went away it left an ugly dark scar. This scar has been a pain because I am one who loves to show my legs. The only good thing about the scar is that it has made me an expert on scar removal creams, lotions, gels and bandages.I first tried the Mederma scar removing gel. It was about 15.00 for a 20gram tube. On Mederma's website it describes it's product as "It's a greaseless, pleasant-smelling, topical gel that's formulated to improve the appearance and feel of just about any kind of scar. Whether you have stretch marks from a pregnancy or a scar from surgery, Mederma® can help make your scar appear softer and smoother. No matter if it's old or new." It is greaseless but I thought the smell, smelled like the inside of a hospital which is not too pleasant to me. The instructions say to apply the gel 6 times a day! Which was a pain during my busy days of chasing children and cleaning house. I rubbed the gel as much as I could when I remembered everyday which was about 3-4 times, for about 3 months but alas my scar held on tight.

To help with some info..scars are always very difficult to remove totally(almost impossible). The best way is to prevent it from developing. There is a new product call Cybele Scagel. Check it out. My friends have used it to prevent scars forms and it helps. Some old scars have actually improves dramatically. Hope this helps those with scar problems.

like you i have tried various scar removal products without much success. In fact, i'm currently using fade-out cream which costs quite a bit and am not seeing much improvements (it's been more than 3 months). I do have a cocoa butter stick and I use it to moisturize my necks in the mornings. i think after reading ur article i will try it on my discolored scar. i hope it works! thanks for sharing ur experience...

This is about a year after you posted so I'm not sure you will ever see this..but amen sista! I, too, spend a ton of money (probably in the $100.00 range) between mederma, neosporin scar soution, rejuveness cream, etc...and finally resorted to cocoa butter. I was a lunatic about applying it like 7 times a day..and within two weeks my scar (also on my leg) is noticbly smaller and less visible. I will continue to use in hopes for even better results!!
Thank you Jaxques and Cheryl, If you are reading this please comment! I noticed I have alot of page views on this article but no comments!
Very informative report! It showed me once again how the medical/pharmaceutical world is not to be trusted. The good old-fashioned remedies are often best.
