I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?
