    If its on your face then use make-up and if its anywhere else on your body try going to a drugstore like CVS or walgreens and get a scar remover or skin lightner and if that don't work then see a doc or dermatologist

    Scars tend to fade with time. If your scars are over two years old, then they might be permanent and would have to be surgically removed. Try using over-the-counter fading creams containing 2% hydroquinone or kojic acid to help fade the scars. You can also use alpha hydroxy products. Alpha Hydroxy creams or lotions will exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells, which can improve the appearance of scars. If you don't see any results, consult a dermatologist for treatment options that's right for you.
