What works better on scars, olive oil or Mederma?

Or both?


I have cuts on my arms from self harm, and I know that I can%26#039;t get into the Air Force if I have any history of Depression. I need to get in, it%26#039;s been my dream for so long!





Can you help me decide which would work better? Or if I should use both?|||Your pathetic.|||Mederma should work.





No scar can ever be completely removed and treatments will always leave a trace, but a number of approaches have been tried with silicon gel sheeting and steroid injections having the most widely accepted role in general scar treatment.





Treatments for Scars:





In historical sequence, corticosteroid therapy by injection into the scars was introduced in the 1960s.





The use of lasers on scars is a new form of treatment that is still being improved.





Vascular lasers have been proven to greatly reduce the redness of most scars 6-10 weeks after the initial treatment. They have not been proven effective in flattening scars however. It has been theorized that removing layers of skin with a carbon dioxide or erbium laser may help flatten scars.[citation needed]





Several cosmetic lasers have been FDA approved for the treatment of acne scars by using laser resurfacing techniques.





Here is info about how to stop cutting too:





Generating alternative behaviours that the sufferer can engage in instead of self-injury, and shaping the use of such behaviours, is one successful behavioural method that is employed to avoid self-harm.Techniques, aimed at keeping busy, may include journaling, taking a walk, participating in sports or exercise or being around friends when the sufferer has the urge to harm themselves.The removal of objects used for self-injury from easy reach is also helpful for resisting self-injurious urges.The provision of a card that allows sufferers to make emergency contact with counselling services should the urge to self-harm arise may also help prevent the act of self-injury. Alternative and safer methods of self-harm that do not lead to permanent damage, for example the snapping of a rubber band on the wrist, may also help calm the urge to self-harm.
