Is there anything I can use for scars that are old?

I had some sort of horrible huge boil/infected ingrown hair on my leg a few years ago, which popped and it’s left almost like a sunken bruise looking scar.

Does anyone have suggestions for anything I could use to even it out?

Massage in bio oil every day

Bio oil helps only slightly. Just evens the skin tone but didn't clear completely for me.

Following this post also. I have a scar that goes from the back of my neck to the bottom of my spine so would love to know any recommendations!! 😆

I've tried all the usual mineral oils and silicone gels. Nothing makes any difference at all, I'm just poorer as a result.

I've got massive scars on my legs from infected insect bites.

Definitely Bio oil, got rid of my stretch marks but I did go through bottles of it and used it religiously

Any oil will do. Don't have to spend money on bio oil. Just use it everyday and spend some time rubbing it in.
