You can buy cocoa butter anywhere that sells lotion, it's in the lotion section...

I have over 100 scars from a childhood accident.

I'm sorry to tell you there is no way to REMOVE them. You can lighten them.

Scars fade over time, but some scars becomes permanent and would have to be surgically removed or treated by a doctor. There are over-the-counter products that contains hydroquinone that can help fade the brown pigmentation on your leg. But if you don't see any improvement from the over-the-counter products after 1-2 months, please consult your dermatologist for treatment that's right for you.
