I have a facial scar from an accident that occurred two years ago. What topical creams or medicines can I use to remove or fade this mark?

Asked by Female, 28 · 25 days ago

Since your scar is two years old, it is fully matured, meaning topical creams may only fade it slightly rather than remove it completely. For at-home care, you can try applying generic silicone gel or silicone sheets daily, which help flatten and soften scar tissue. Creams containing tretinoin (a retinoid) or vitamin C can also help improve skin texture and fade discolouration. Always apply sunscreen daily, as UV rays can darken the scar. If you see limited progress after a few months, I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to discuss more effective clinical treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, or minor surgical revision.
