Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after wound. After a wound has healed the scar is commonly red. This is usually the most noticeable stage of your scar. Often times it will continue to become more visible for up to 3 months after the injury. You want to reduce the scarring as fast as possible. Here, are some useful tips to reduce scar redness.

1. Massaging the scar with a gentle circular motion will help stimulate the production of collagen, which will help the scar to fully heal and become less red.

2. A scar, because it is already damaged, is more sensitive to the sun and can become sunburned, which will make it even redder. Make sure that you apply sunscreen that is SPF 30 or better whenever possible.

3. Originally used by burn centers and later on cosmetic surgeons and hospitals they are the proven most effective over the counter treatment for red and raised scars.

4. Apply silicone gel. Silicone gel will create a protective layer of silicone over the scar, as well as flatten the scar and reduce its visibility.

5. Hydrate the scar. Internally by drinking enough and externally by using petroleum based emollient.

6. Rub scar treatment cream on the area. Scar treatment creams usually contain natural ingredients such as onion extract to gradually fade scars.

7. Try lemon juice. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching remedy. Its acidity helps to lighten darkened areas of skin.

8. Apply Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera can soften your skin and help it heal faster. Don’t use an Aloe Vera lotion or gel, as the heating and processing will render it useless. Get an Aloe Vera plant and crack open the leaves and apply it directly to the scar.

9. Apply the fruit puree. Massage into the acne-scarred area. The lemon juice has natural bleaching properties to fade the redness while the pineapple has ascorbic acid to brighten skin tone and fade the scarring.

10. Gently rub the baking soda paste into the skin. Continue in circular motions for approximately 60 seconds and then rinse off.
