text: what is the best way to reduce scars? i am allergic to misquitoe bites. they leave dark scars that last for years.  besides laser scar removal, are there any topical cream i can use to help heal the scars quicker? neosporin kept me from getting scars several times. it even took away my stretch marks as long as i religiously applied it to them when they first began to make an appearance as little red marks. once i stopped applying it though i noticed a differnce. i wish i'd kept that up during my pregnancy cause it actually made those marks dissapear during the begining!!!
