Cutting with less Scarring

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

What certain areas of the body are less likely to scar?
And is there a way to cut that leads to less scarring?

From my experience wherever I've cut I've scarred. It all depended on what I used and how I used it.

Yes, not deep and not using a blade that is rather blunt/serrated forcefully (meaning, not sawing at your skin). The whisper thin razorblades scarred less than my ones of choice. However, some of my biggest scars are from blades available in the nearest store, there are really no guarantees.

Taking care of the wound and applying something like neosporin can help make it scar less. Also, don't pick at it or put anything nasty in there, keep it clean.

Vitamin E

I've found the best way to keep it from scarring is with Vitamin E. Bacitracin works, too. especially if you wrap something on top. (even if it's just a tissue with some hair elastics to keep it in place) It helps whatever ointment you put on it so stay longer so you don't have to keep applying.
