Why is my scar so much darker than the rest of my skin?

Can I get rid of the scar thats on my foot?

  • When I was 3 yrs old. A car backed over my foot. I had to get surgery. On the left side of my foot is a 5 inch long scar and on the right side of that same foot is a scar that stretches from my big toe to my ankle. This side was also stitched and put back together using my own skin. So its two colors. White, and my natural skin color. The scar on this side is the worst. Its very unattractive to me. I think theres something I can do to either get rid of it, or make it unnoticeable. I've tried Scar- guard but it didnt work! Please let me know what I could do about this! Also, could I get surgery again so the scar can be even tone as the rest of my body?

First of all let me say that although you notice the scar and think it's unattractive, I bet that other people don't really notice it at all. Scar tissue will always be white because it doesn't have any pigment in it - that's what gives the rest of your skin it's colour. It's sometimes possible to have corrective surgery on scars to improve their appearance, but each case is different. You should speak to a medical professional to see what can be done for you. Good luck x

Well first off, how old are you? If you're young then the scar will most likely go away completely. Don't believe this crap where people say "Scars never go away no matter how old you are etc." How do I know that? Because I've had scars before and they have gone away completely. There do sell makeup that covers scars up. I suggest you try bio-oil, it's really good at speeding up the process of making scars go away. I use it myself and it works really well for me.
