Will my scar go away?
I have a scar on my right knee that's purple. Will it ever go away? It's really noticeable, and other than that I think I have nice legs—it just kind of ruins my whole appearance. Is there anything I can do besides buying special creams and stuff?
First of all: A little scar on your knee is not going to ruin your appearance! Your legs and the rest of you is still beautiful, and no blemish is going to change that.
Everyone’s bodies look different when we scar, and the healing process is diff as well. Plus, as your body creates new tissue where your scar is, it will look slightly different than the old tissue. It will always be visible, but will def fade significantly with time.
To lessen the appearance of your scar, try Vitamin E: It’s a popular remedy applied directly to a new scar to help speed up the healing process. But don’t worry—it will become less noticeable with time.
