• Answer:

  I do not think that there will be a way to get rid of them that quickly, it usually takes many months to fade a scar. You can try Mederma or a similar lotion, which is made for that exact purpose. You could also try to use castor oil or apple cider vinegar, which would be only a few dollars instead of the $20 for a scar lotion. You can google either "castor oil/ apple cider vinegar for scars" and a few suggestions for use will come up. Again, all of these options will work eventually, but none significantly faster than the others. With a month of steady use, you would probably see a faint difference but not much.
