Buy some mederma at Walgreen's. It won't completely get rid of them, but it will help reduce puffiness and coloration. Or just wait and have patience. I have found that some combination of these two things has helped me in dealing with the rather large scar on my shoulder.

2. the picture is amazing. Fringey, you're living this second by second so you might not see it, but you improve a ton every week. it is so great that you are to the point of seeing the day when even the scars fade.

Yeah, I don't see it. I am soooo not looking forward to interviewing or whatever. The scars on my throat and torso do seem to have a feel, though they aren't puffy but seem recessed. I will put Mederma on a list for someone.

If the Mederma doesn't work, I understand that there are laser and injectible (collagen, I think) treatments that can help, but I would give the Mederma a try 1st. Be very diligent about keeping sunscreen on the scars, though, in the meantime. Apparently, that makes a huge difference in how long they stick around.

I seem to have some nice strong sunscreen and will try to remember to use it.

Vitamin E is also supposed to be good for helping scars.

I represented a bar a few years ago and had to exchange emails with the former manager.

Today he shows up under suggested friends on facebook? I only used my work email to contact him, and I've never given FB access to any email account (work or otherwise). Is this the same issue gwnk was having?

I suspect when you do the "how much do I know about the 90s?" bullshit, and the "allow access" comes up, you are authorizing scouring of your email.

I have never allowed any application access. As far as I know.

The former manager may have given facebook access to his contact list. http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2009-06-12-n15.html

If it's good enough for Turd Ferguson, it's good enough for me.
