Is it possible to minimize or get rid of a scar that is over 4 months old and if so how can it be done?

Although it should have been done right after the injury, rubbing vitamin E (which you can find at the drugstore in soft gel capsules) can help minimize scarring. Improved Answer (from different person) I tried vitamin E but it didn't work. You can also get Mederma... it's great for scars if you put it on consistently enough. Otherwise, you can just wait it out.....a scar on my leg and another one on my arm went away after about 3 years. (It was very large).
