I recently had my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer. Having a scar in such an odd place (right across my neck) brings lots of questions and it makes me self-conscious to have to explain the whole "cancer thing" to strangers. I want this scar gone fast. Of course I looked up similar scars on the internet and some people still have theirs years later. So I got Mederma®. I’ve only been using Mederma® for a short time and my scar is 80% improved! I can't believe it. Woohoo!

I started to use Mederma® Scar Cream Plus SPF 30 after having an angry wart removed from my knee. The doctor tried methods of removing the wart that wouldn't leave a scar, but in the end nothing was working so they had to surgically remove it and it left a nasty purple scar. A friend recommended Mederma® Scar Cream Plus SPF 30. I was a bit skeptical at first, for many reasons, but I gave in and gave it a shot. The pictures show the three stages of the scar-to-be. The first one was taken the day the wart was removed, the second after it had healed, and the third after four weeks of using Mederma®. I used it as directed, three times a day and I’m clearly seeing results. I will continue to use the cream and hope that in another four weeks or so it will be even less noticeable. I would most definitely recommend Mederma® Scar Cream Plus SPF 30.

It was 2 years ago when a dog bit my then 2 year old son in the face. No stitches were needed thankfully. I used Mederma® for Kids™, as well as Mederma® Scar Cream Plus SPF 30. I rubbed it into his scar FAITHFULLY 3 sometimes 4x a day for 8 weeks consecutively..... and I was amazed! I stuck with it because I didn’t want him to have noticeable scars as he grew and have others make fun of his face. Mederma® helped sooo much that I even started using it now on my face for a burn scar. I shall share that story 8 weeks from now. Thanks!!!

I stepped in some ant spray my husband had spilled in our garage and broke both my legs just below the knees. My right leg required surgery and lots of hardware. My orthopedic surgeon did a great job, but ortho's are not known for their pretty work like plastic surgeons. I started using Mederma® as soon as my incision was healed. I couldn't be happier with the results and I'm touting Mederma® every opportunity I get. Thank you so much for creating such a great product. P.S. I'm walking!!! :)

"I have always had mild acne and when I break out it always tends to scar which makes them stand out more. I have been using Mederma® for years and it really works! My scars have improved and it is very impressive. I also used to have two burns on the side of my lip. When I used it on those, the scars looked less noticeable. I have used both the gel and the cream but I prefer the cream because it has sun screen in it so it helps prevent the sunburn. The only con is that it is a tad bit pricey but the tube lasts months (depending on how big the scar is). I love Mederma® and I will not use anything else!"

"Over the years when I was a kid, I used to get lots of mosquito bites in the summer and they often scarred my skin. I used Mederma® to clear them up and it turned out beautiful for me. As I got a little older into my teenage years, I was faced with another problem that seemed to trap me in a bubble of being self-conscious and feeling down – acne. It started off as a few (2 or 3) around my forehead, and then sprouted all over my face. I couldn't believe it. I never had problems like that. I then found an amazing cleanser, yet I noticed it wasn't acne on my face anymore; it was the scars left by them. Once again Mederma® saved the day! I love it and use it everyday on my acne scars and get my life back. I am enjoying being in pictures now and hope that more people with my story can live on and try it out. It really works in my opinion :)"

I was in a motorcycle accident and I had a broken nose and fractured cheek bones. I look amazing now and it only took about six months of applying Mederma® Scar Gel to my scars after my accident. I am so happy I put it on. I am thinking of using Mederma® for my scar on my chin. It was in the sun so it is a little pink. Other than that I am completely satisfied with Mederma®!! I had several scars and it worked on all of them.

I am a firm believer in Mederma®! My sister told me how she swore by it after her surgery so I had nothing to lose by trying it too. I was brutally attacked by a presa canario dog in June 2010; my left arm was barely attached, my forehead looked worse than Harry Potter. The doctors told me to use Mederma® after a few weeks, when the wounds truly closed. I went through so much Mederma® but it was so worth it; almost 16 months later, you can only see the scars on my face and head when I point them out. Although my left arm still has a nasty scar, the progress of the healing of my scar has been wonderful. I still use Mederma® to lessen it. Now I swear by Mederma® and recommend it to everyone I talk to.

“I burned my left forearm (2 1/2 inches long) pressing my clothes and thought "great this is really going to leave a big scar". Then I remembered seeing a commercial about Mederma® and went to my local pharmacy and purchased a tube. I have been using Mederma® on the burned area as well as on lumpectomy scars and the results are amazing. The burned area on my forearm is less red and is looks significantly better now or has greatly improved. Thanks Mederma®!”

“I am a young mother, and like many others, I was left with very noticeable stretch marks all over my stomach and thighs. When I saw the ad for Mederma® on TV, I knew I had to get it. I started applying it on my stretch marks. After 3 months of using Mederma®, I already see results. I recommend this product to anyone who is trying to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars!”

“As a child, I developed multiple scars with my tomboyish behavior. I have not been able to wear shorts, swimsuits or skirts, because I felt so embarrassed to show my skin. I was introduced to Mederma® by a friend who uses it for stretch marks. I decided to give it a try, and I have not been disappointed. It is really working for me. All the scars haven't completely disappeared, since I've had them all my life, but there is a significant difference in the appearance of my scars. I will continue to use Mederma®. Thank you, Mederma®.”

“I was in a boat accident and had numerous cuts requiring stitches over a good portion of my body. Once the stitches were removed, my Mom started putting Mederma® on the scars. (Now), I am not uncomfortable going out in public, and every day I notice that the scars are becoming less and less noticeable. Thank you for your amazing product.”

“I've had acne on and off throughout my high school years, and I was prone to picking my scars. One particular scar managed to stay a little longer than others, and when I went on vacation it got a lot darker. So I resorted to using cover up and expensive concealers that matched my skin tone. One day, my mom went shopping and came back home and asked me to try Mederma® Cream. I was very self conscious about the scar on my nose, but I was willing to try anything. Using the cream 3 to 4 times daily improved the look of the scar.”
