New Delhi: A lot creams and oils available in the market claim to remove scars and minimize the appearance of the old ones. But the fact is that none of these things helps in removing the scars or the patch that is caused by it.

These hypertrophic scars not only give you a shabby appearance but they can also be painful. So the question that arises here is that is there something that can help in diminishing these scars to a certain extent.

Actually, Vitamin E comes up as the only effective and popular remedy that can help you get rid of those ugly marks on your skin. Vitamin E can easily be found in a nearby store in liquid or capsule form. You can consume the capsule orally and if you are going for the liquid form, apply it on the affected area.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that reduces the formation of free radicals and increases the production of collagen which is responsible for the elasticity and strength of skin.

A study has revealed that applying Vitamin E on a regular basis helps in keeping the scar at bay.
