How to treat scars at home – and hopefully make them disappear

Abstract

Maybe you’ve had a skin cancer removed from your face or body. Perhaps you had an injury or accident and needed stitches. However you came by a cut on your skin, you probably want to make it appear as small as possible as quickly as possible and avoid a longer-lasting scar.

In order to minimise scar formation we need to address wound healing, which is a complex process.
