Hi, they are technically not scars, they are just from pigmentation changes in the skin. Mine always faded away. I’ve heard some people say that an OTC steroid cream and keeping out of the sun can help, but I have no experience with that.

Are you talking about pigment scarring after healing?

Any over-the-counter skin lightener will help. Mine look like clusters of dark freckles. I haven't done anything about them yet. Maybe one day. Ask your pharmacist for recommendations. Skin bleaching is a tricky business and I am not into those chemicals.

@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member just constantly using moisturizers over many years has helped with mine. I can still see the 10’s of 1,000s of more ‘pale’ marks on all my skin when in the sun but i am so used to them now it’s just a part of who i am. Like reverse freckles. Cocoa butter is good for some. It helped decrease my ‘furrowed brow lines’ too after i had reached a more calm state several years ago 😁
