As per the information provided by you, you have concerns with the scars on your limbs. If they are of recent origin, you may benefit from scar softening creams and pressure garments. Lasers may help to lighten the dark scars. However, if the scars are wide or raised, scar revision surgery may be the preferred option to reduce them.
Next Steps
I recommend plastic surgeon's consultation
Health Tips
Surgery or any laser procedure will reduce scars, not eliminate them.
