Do eczema scars go away?

I had bad eczema flare-ups on my elbows last winter. I just made sure not to scratch them and kept the skin constantly hydrated with virgin coconut oil. The dark marks eventually went away on their own after about six months.

I was looking this up because my cousin has these spots. From what I read on dermatological forums, they aren't permanent scars but just hyperpigmentation that naturally lightens once the inflammation is completely gone.

No need to buy those super expensive imported scar creams, they are mostly marketing gimmicks. Simple pharmaceutical grade moisturizers or pure aloe vera gel work just fine and cost very little. Just give it time.

I just recovered from a severe leg flare-up three months ago. The dark spots looked terrible initially, but daily application of a thick barrier cream prescribed by my doc has almost completely faded them now. Hang in there!

My eczema flares up whenever I eat too much spicy street food or dairy. Once I cut down on the oily stuff and drank more water, my skin cleared up and the marks faded. Good skin really starts with what we eat!

Yes, they fade. I noticed sweat used to irritate my healing skin during workouts, so I switched to light walking in loose cotton clothes. Keeping the body cool and active really speeds up the natural healing process.
