I'm getting married soon, and I've been really concerned about this blade cut mark on my hand that's been there for 2 years. I'm hoping to find a way to get rid of it before the wedding. Could you suggest any ointments or skin treatments that might help fade or remove the mark?

For a two-year-old scar, topical treatments like silicone gel (e.g., Mederma or Kelo-Cote) can help reduce its appearance over time. For more effective results, consider dermatological treatments like laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels. Consult a dermatologist to choose the best option for your skin type and timeline.
