You tried Mederma? It's for burn treatments but I've heard only great things about it. I've heard olive oil works as suggested, but can be problematic too. Time will do a great deal of healing as well. One of my friends started using proactive & sun tanning in the indoor salons & hers disappeared. The tanning stimulates the natural oils in your body. She only went 1 a week for 10-15 minutes. Another friend switched to proactive & using bare minerals make up. I hope some of this helps or one of these is doable for you. The more you touch them the worse they get so apparently hands off is a key to them disappearing quickest.
