Scar Removal: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHow Do I Remove These Deep Leg Scars That Have Been Around for 5 Years Now? (photo)
I have scars on both my legs. The scars were caused by scratching mosquito bites when I was young, and now they have become so bad and dark. The scars are cratered but are soft to touch.

Scars on the legs
