    there is no home remedy for scars or stretch marks. this is a damaged epidermis layer which can not be healed. this is why there is a scar. if it could be healed there wouldn't be a scar, would it? u may get laser dermabrasion - costs around 1000 for one spot and u need several of them and they re quite painful. if u re young and scars are not deep they will heal with time without u doing anything

    these should work for both red and brown marks

    - turmeric/aloe vera gel (do NOT use pure raw aloe gel. some people have experienced skin darkening using that use the medical one you can get from pharmacies etc/natural yogurt (no flavoring nothing)/lemon juice/castor oil/honey mask. make sure you have lemons, turmeric and yogurt those are the main ingredients. leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with a loofah. wear a shirt you dont mind getting dirty just in case if you still have some stains in your skin from the turmeric, do this every night.

    - glycolic acid. i use the paulas choice 10% AHA lotion it says its a once a week treatment but since im using it on my body and my skin isnt sensitive i use it every morning. at night i use a 0.025 tretinoin gel ask your derm if he/she can prescribe some to you

    - drink green tea or liquorice tea to help renew the skin from inside out

    - use a lotion every night. i use coconut oil but some people cant handle it but you can try if it suits you

    Source(s): oh and always use spf of at least 30 when those skin areas are exposed. if they are brown sun can darken them plus all those acidic things can make your skin more sensitive. this process might take even years but just be consistent with treating it and patient. good luck!
