Scars do fade over time. It depends whether the scars are deep or not though. Very deep scars often stay there but they do fade slightly over time. I have several fairly deeps cuts and the scars took several years...make that over 5 years to fade, and the scar is still there only it's a lot fainter. I heard that if you put cream with vitamin E on the scar then it could speed up the fading process. The skin cream is available in chemists just ask for it. Vitamin E is present in some 'beauty lotion/creams', but some of those lotions/cream are fairly costly so I suggest you to go to the chemist and ask for some vitamin E cream. Even though the vitamin E does speed up the process of fading it still takes a while so don't get too frustrated when you see that it isn't fading as fast as you want it to. The scars fade beause the cells of the body are constantly being replaced by living tissue, and the new tissue follows the original makeup of the body rather than the damaged form. The old scar tissue is removed and eliminated from the body through the bloodstream.
