Dermablend is a great scar cover, you can find it at better department stores or they probably have a website. I have also seen it on ebay but you really should be color matched for best results. You can also get a perscription cream from your doctor that will heal and help fade a scar.

Sorry to hear that,are you using neosporin,zinc or vitamin E .Those are said to minimize scarring.

Try Mederma, it's supposed to work well.

It's not make-up, it's an OTC salve that you apply to scar tissue that reduces its size and discoloration.

Hi Vem, it's good to see you here again. I'm afraid I don't have much add'l advise about the scar. I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about it. I'm sure with time it will heal and become less noticeable. Take care.
Hugs, Tammi

so sorry to hear about your accident,, but i've used dermablend in the past, and it did work well,,, also used vitamin e, seemed to help,,,,, but cannot emphasize enough,, doo see your physician,,my daughter suffered a dog bite to the face,, our doctor prescribed a cream and a patch,, the scarring has virtually disappeared,, no one would ever know.

thanks so much for your help...kisses

2 months is early days Vem, the scar will lessen in size as time goes on and hiding it will become a lesser issue, meanwhile Sharon's suggestion sounds good.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident! I had my cheek split open years ago while playing racquet ball (I was hit in the face w/a racquet.) One thing that always helps is to massage the scarred area daily with Vitamin E cream. Good luck!
