How to get rid of cat scratch marks and dark marks on my leg?

_im.qJul 21, 2016
. I'm a girl and very self conscious about my arms and legs, it's so horrible having scratch marks all over your body. I want to have beautiful arms and legs like other girls. If I knew I had sensitive skin I wouldn't even let my cat scratch me up so bad. Is any kind of cream or gel I could use for my scars that I can buy in Walmart. i've been using cocoa butters since January and it's not helping me tone my scars.

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
