How long does it take for Vitamin E to begin to fade scars?

I have dark marks/scars all over my legs from picking at bites etc. People have suggested Vitamin E. I want fast results so i dont have to go through another summer being embarressed to wear shorts. How long does it normally take for Vitamin E to make a difference in the appearence of scars?How long does it take for Vitamin E to begin to fade scars?
Try a product called Miracell, available at Walgreens %26amp; most health food stores. It will start to work immediately, but may take til summer if the scars are deep. They have thousands of testimonials of skin conditions it clears up.How long does it take for Vitamin E to begin to fade scars?
It can take up to months or years, from my own experience. I'd take both vitamin E capsules and also buy the oil (you can actually buy it in a pure form, such as Bio Oil, which is designed to try to minimise scars but it's a bit more expensive) to rub on your scars.





Allowing your skin to tan ever so slightly also helps to camoflage scaring so, even if you're too embarassed, try to wear shorts in privacy of your own garden if you can. But mind to be wearing sun cream when you do so rather than the oil. Concealor (ordinary concealor or something specialist like http://www.dermablend.com/) or even fake tan is also a good option to hide scars and if they're really bad, you should consider visiting your doctors to see if he suggests anything more.
Vitamin E has never helped my scars lighten up any. I used it for months at a time. I've used the thick gooey vitamin E as well as the vitamin E oil, but like I said, they didn't help me out and I have a very large and dark scar on my abdomen. Sorry. :(
why be afraid- express yurself with the scars
You should get a Vitamin E lotion - just rub it all over your legs every day. It will work gradually over time. You can use a self-tanner to cover the marks.





If you find that you pick your skin and can't stop, there's a name for it - dermatillamania. Google it - you'll see it's more common than you think. You can try mild anti-anxiety medications or therapy to help you stop.
a few weeks, open the capsuals and put direct onto your legs, twice a day, and still take them.
