Treating scars from boils 

Dark marks that are left by boils are basically scars. Boils and pimples often leave such scars, especially when they become infected or have been burst forcefully, and too early. Unfortunately, there is no real treatment to get rid of scars. You can try using some home remedies, but these will work very slowly, if at all. One is applying lemon juice to the scarred areas, and the other is applying a mix of rose water and sandalwood powder. These may or may not work, but in any case, you should not worry too much about the marks as they will quite certainly fade away on their own. Scars left by boils and pimples are usually not lasting scars, and though it may take a long time, they will eventually fade away completely.

Meanwhile however, it is important to ensure that you get rid of the boils, or if they have gone, then make sure that they do not return, as this may result in new scars, and make the whole process take much longer. Using soft cotton clothes and keeping yourself clean should be enough. If you sweat excessively, you may need to wash yourself several times a day.

Boils scars remedies 

There are some simple remedies that can be easily employed at home to get rid of dark marks left over after eruption of boils on any part of the body. You can begin with cleaning and exfoliating the skin about twice a week. Make an effective exfoliating scrub with a few crushed walnuts, sugar crystals and olive oil. Rub this in circular motions for about 10 minutes and then wash off with mild soap and water. After this, you can dab on lime juice to the marked area. Lime juice is a natural bleaching agent which will lighten all kinds of marks effectively.

You can also apply the juice of a crushed tomato about once a week to the area. This will also help to clean up the area considerably. Crushed pineapple is also very useful in helping to remove marks from any part of the body. You can simple apply and leave this on for about 20 minutes and then wash with plain water. This will also make your skin clearer. Another very helpful remedial measure is to use aloe vera gel to remove marks from your body. You can also apply this as many times and as often as you want.
