I have an old scar on my leg. I got burnt from the pipe of the motorcycle. I really want it removed :( its been a year already. Its dark brown. And it's a bit big. Please tell me an effective way to at least lighten the scar ! Please ! (except surgery or laser)
I heard some ways like
Cocoa butter (what is this? I have no idea about it. Where can we buy it?)
Salt + olive oil
vitamin E
Toothpaste
Please give me the best answer. Thanks a lot :)

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.

How would they remove scars with surgery if usually surgery leaves more scars?
