    Depends on what type and where they are.

    A secure wrap, helped when they had to reconstruct my forehead and left side of my face (a long time ago) There are some creams that doctors have, that can help keep skin healing itself.

    But a very bad scar will just be there all your life. My left arm for example, looks like 100's of lines up and down the arm. Even my forehead, while it just looks like wrinkles now, if you look close will see 100s of small scars.

    So you work close with your doctor and do what you can.

    You'll probably have them for the rest of your life. They'll get fainter but won't disappear.

    I have a faint but visible scar on the back of my hand from when a library card catalog drawer fell on it, and the corner of the drawer ripped skin off the back of my hand. That was in 1982.

    Are your scars from cutting? How deep were the wounds or cuts? Your doctor or druggist can suggest a cream to put on it, but it won't totally remove the scars.
