Joyce: There are many ways to dissolve the old scar tissue. You can try to dissolve some aspirin with water and apply on the skin. Aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid, which is similar, but a weaker form of salicylic acid that dermatologist used to remove old scar tissue. For me I have some black spots on my arm and I removed by applying a 50% water and 50% DMSO solution applied daily over a month. While the application over such brief period I that I did only remove about 80% of the spots, it was significantly smaller than usual. As a result, I was happy with it and didn't bother to continue. The DMSO goes right through the skin and slowly removes the old keloids. I learned that it can do this by observing injured animals with scar used DMSO solution also, but probably of a higher concentration.

Vinegar is also another good one, but a much milder form basically it removes hard skins cells but it does this much slowly.
