I had surgery in March on my right ankle and both knees it left me with 9 scars they don't usually bother me as they can be easily covered by clothing. However, I am going on holiday in August and that includes wearing a bikini which is terrifying is there anything I can do to make my scars a little less obvious

I also have many scars from surgery. I have been using Nivea moisturiser on my newest scar. You could also try Bio oil which I have heard can be good. They will fade in time I promise and the best thing to do is let the air get to a new scar. Hope that helps.
