What can I use to remove the scars on my legs? (photos)

Asked By:Jenna_23 in East Kingston, NH

I have some old scars on my legs from I was around 7 years old (I am now 23), over the years they prevent me from wearing a skirt, shorts or anything that expose my legs, it's very uncomfortable for me when I go to the beach. Most of them are caused by mosquito bites n then when they start itching I scratch them n they turn into sores and get bigger. Three months ago I started bleaching them with maxi light cream, what do you think is the best solution?
