    I have serveral nicks that have healed but have left a line on my face. Does anyone know of anything that will get these to leave?

    Lynn has always suggested putting antibiotic ointment on the cut right away and that is what I have always done. That is supposed to reduce the scarring. Other than that, time is the only thing I have seen that will eventually get the lines to diminish and turn from red to white. Oh, making a large circle around yourself with a pentagram in its very center while you burn dried rosemary and wave your razor through the smoke may also help, but I haven't tried it long enough to confirm any effect.

    Neosporin (sp?) ointment will lessen the lines .... they'll go away over time

    I really think the triple antibiotic right after the blood letting works great. Neosporin is also very good. You can always tell the wife or girlfriend that it's from the big war.....lol. Lynn

    I've tried to say it was a dueling scar I got defending her honor. She just laughed and shook her head. :roll:

    I just tell my wife the scars are from playing hockey.

    Woops, that won't work, there is no such thing as hockey anymore.
