Thanks to Maharani, I have been using Mequinol 10% on the scars on my arms now for almost a week now. Although some of the scar areas have faded some and not too large in size overall, I'm going to see if the mequinol/tretinoin can further remove the darkened areas. It does have a stinky smell LOL, so personally I prefer to use it at night and it is like a thick vaseline formulation, so little is needed as it melts as I rub it in.
Keep in mind, it is recommended that you use retin-a (tretinoin) along with mequinol in order for effective penetration and results. So, I'll keep everyone updated.

I have not experienced any burning, or a sensation of any sort, is this weird? Even this morning, my skin feels and looks like I have not applied any on.. Am applying it every other night, so will do so tomorrow again, want to do this for the next 2 weeks, and then start applying it every night. Will see how it goes!! Then I'll start on the lactic for my body and add melalite into my regimen for the lightening..
