Product for scarring?

Does anyone have remedies for minimizing or eliminating the appearance of scarring? I have scarring mostly on my arms and I would like to wear short sleeves without feeling embarassed by the scarring.

Recent scars could benefit from AHA cream (alpha hydroxy acid) sold at big pharmacies. I shea butter is apparently good but I have never tried it. The pharmacist can also show you creams made specially for scars to prevent scar tissue. There are also creams to lighten dark spots on your skin made for sun and age spots and acne or picking "scars". Neostrata makes one of these lightening creams as well as the AHA cream.
