My skin is very prone to excessive scarring and I have many keloid scars as a result of mosquito bites as a child. They are very ugly – is there anything that can make them go away?

There are treatments that can help manage old scarring, but these are not always 100 per cent successful. Our recommendation would be that you talk to your GP about your concerns and if appropriate he will be able to refer you to a specialist for advice. For new wounds, there are over the counter treatments that may help reduce the risk of severe scarring and for this you should consult a pharmacist.
