Skin Scars

Anyone have any suggestion to heal white skin scars caused by scrapes and such?

Thanks!

 

Here are some quotes on pigmentation. It seems like treatments for pigmentation of hair and skin are same .
Ingesting copper also helps with improving skin pigmentation. Beef liver and shellfish are high in copper.

 

Why would DHEA instead of copper help, if the problem is related to copper deficiency?

 

Thanks for replies thus far.

Scar tissue is metabolically inactive. I wonder how to reactivate the scar tissue?

 

Red light perhaps?

I'm thinking topical application of Progest E could help too, dissolved in a little olive oil for easier application.
I'd use coconut oil as well. I use it as a body lotion. Amazing stuff.

 

Do you do the same for applying to gums also with progest e? I never thought to add it with that other stuff. I am awaiting some in the mail. And it will be my first time.

 

No, I use it straight on the gums. It's thick so it's a little easier to use a little olive oil when you apply it topically. It's just an option.

One of the recent RP articles is also about topical applications.

 

Are you referring to his article about Rosacea?

Great connecting of dots, jyb, as he speaks specifically about progesterone's usefulness in thwarting fibrosis.

You folks are great.

Any specific (read: amazon link) bulb for red light?

 

Its a great forum, no BS...good, smart caring people.

 

Best bulbs for red light are clear 250 watt incandescent bulbs .

You'll also need a brooder lamp type fixture to use with the bulb. Some forum members have set up 2-3 of these. I have just one for now.

Brooder Lamp

The fixture at the link above has a "guard" which mine doesn't have but I bought it at a rural hardware store. You can probably source all this locally at a feed shop. This is a set up used for baby chicks.

Here is a massive 35-page thread on red light therapy.

Don't forget gelatin.

 

So just to summarize: Red light and Progest E? With the Gelatin (and other RP foods)?

 

In my understanding, virtually everything that's good for the body is likewise good for the skin.
