    Hi all,

    Few years ago l burnt my thigh with boiling hot water. I have a big scar (bit red & bumpy) still. Been using Bio oil the last few months but no difference :(

    Can anyone recommend any kind of cream or anything?

    Anyone have a scar similar? did it improve or clear up any bit?

    Becoming self conscious of it now, happend to me when l was a child :/

    I had scars from an operation and found that Vitamin E oil can also be helpful (available in most health shops, usually in a roll on form), but unfortunately only lighter scars such as those from acne will become much less noticeable using these kinds of products.

    I know this is a weird suggestion but get yourself a Therapy massage bar from Lush. It contains Neroli oil which is great for the elasticity of skin. Massage it in a few times a day and you will see a significant change in how red it appears. Don't be afraid to get the bar nice and warm in your hands and rub it in well. Smells gorgeous too :)
