 Molly has a very raised and wicked looking scar on the top of her foot from
a cut/slice that couldn't be stitched and butterflies were used.

She's begun mentioning it now and then and I think as she enters her teens
it's going to become an "issue" for her (she's had it for 2 yrs now). I was
hoping scar reducing substance was for scars already formed.

I think I've seen a product advertised for existing scars lately???????
Anybody have experience with it (if it's really a product out there!).

I realize that there are scar treatments these days and we may have to deal
with it more seriously one day for Molly's self-confidence. Really would
like to avoid spending a fortune at the dermatologist for lazer work! Who
knows, maybe it's never going to be a big deal to her.  :0)
