Scar's on back of head from Toupee with clips

• Hello I am new to the board and I am glad I found you guys.  I recently stopped using my toupee after living with it for 15 years.  I started off with the clips and then moved to the glue.  Because I used clips earlier in my process I developed scar areas from where the skin was cut or the hair will not grow at all.  I like shaving my head but when I do that the scars show up more their is one on each side about the size of a small quarter.  If I grow my hair a little longer I can hide this but I rather not because I like the shaved look.  Is there anything I can do about this?  Scar creams?  Scar reduction surgery?  Anything? 
  
  Any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks Patrick

• Scars are just a little "Dome Decor" (I believe Mojim or PianoMan coined this phrase... my thanks).

• Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  There is now some product that is available in drug stores that is supposed to remove scars.  I'll see if I can find it again and let you know.

• vitamin E oil is suppose to help...you get the vitamin E capsules and you prick them with a pin and put the liquid right on the scar...see if that helps.
