When soaking up the sunshine in true summer fashion, be sure to cover scars with SPF rated clothing or sunscreen. While the idea of tanning a light scar seems like a nice idea, it’s not. Melanin is what gives your skin a tanned look, but scars produce it in uneven patches. Too much melanin on the upper layers of skin creates hyperpigmentation.
I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma last year, located on my forehead between my eyebrows. After having it removed I had approximately a 1 inch incision that had several stiches and after removal I had a substantial wound. My friend Nancy sent me Scar Fade and I used it diligently for a month and continued to use it as I felt it was needed. I am very pleased with the outcome!! Can’t even see where the incision was made! Thank you Nancy for introducing me to Scar Fade!
