I was reccomended E45 cream and its done its job so far... although they are still pretty visible (4 small ones and a massive line across my back). Im sure other people will post with vastly superior home rememdies.

Vitamin E has reduced a scar on my hand alot, but for some people it apparently can cause irritation.

I used to burst a Vit E capsule onto the area and rub it directly on or mix it with some Vaseline and rub that in.
You can by Vitamin E oil from places like Natures way...
