when i used to work in a psych hospital it was very common for many of the adolescents to have lots of scars from self injury. they were usually given mederma daily and, while the jury is officially still out on its effectiveness, for some of the kids there was a marked improvement. of course that is purely anecdotal so i won't say yes it works buti would say that unless its a serious issue it might not be worth the cost. that stuff is expensive and if it doesnt work it might be a waste. not sure if that is any help at all.
