Eddie,

Sorry, but I don’t know of any product that you can buy that will remove your mother’s scar.

There are lot of products that you can buy that claim to fade scars. I have tried a few of them with no luck (and they are usually pretty expensive). I don’t know of anyone who said that a particular one worked for them so I can’t give you any recommendations.

Some say that the only real way to reduce or improve the appearance of a scar is with scar revision surgery. Unfortunately that means going back to the surgeon for another expensive procedure and there’s no guarantee that the scar will go away completely.

Sorry I couldn’t help.

Best regards,

Tanner
