Scars and scratches on the legs can occur for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, you have not provided adequate information as to how they got there in the first place. The reason this is important is because depending on the reason for the scar, the remedies and effectiveness will vary greatly. For example, a scar received due to physical or medical trauma such as an accident or surgery will need different types of treatments when compared to scars left behind by skin infections like chicken pox or athlete's foot. However, there are a number of generic remedies that would help cover up the prominence of scars on your feet, but first it is important to understand how these scars are formed.
Scar tissue will tend to look and feel very different from normal body tissue. Ideally the scars tend to be lightly colored and flat but at times the body will have altered rates of collagen production and produce either too much or too little of this coloring agent and this will result in the altered coloration of the skin. It is also important to remember that scars that have been on your body for a considerable period of time will rarely disappear completely. Scars on the legs could be very disturbing for quite a few people as well as impose restrictions on dress code like the wearing of short skirts.
Some remedies that could help reduce the prominence of the scars are:
- Lemon is a natural bleaching agent and helps reduce dark patches naturally and effectively. After your daily shower rub a piece of lemon on the black spots for about 15 minutes.
- Olive oil is known for its skin healing properties. Apply some of this oil repeatedly on the scarred area of your skin.
- Create a paste by mixing sandalwood powder with a bit of black gram. Apply it over the scarred skin and leave it over night. Wash it off in the morning with cold water.
- Cucumber juice applied over the scars for 15 minutes before being washed off with cold water has been known to be considerably effective when dealing with scars.
- Aloe vera has also been known to be substantially effective when dealing with skin ailments and repair.
- Increase your intake of Vitamin E as this vitamin is essential in the quest for healthy skin. Applying vitamin E solution topically to the scar should show results in a few weeks.
