Try a gluten free Bisquick blend. Add some xanthan gum or guar gum to make your recipes more effective. Know that you can use single, non-gluten flours instead of blends when you are cooking.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's recommended that this method is to be used for at least three months, but the results are highly promising. Stick the sheet of the silicone gel on to a scar to increase hydration, and prevent bacteria from taking residence, further traumatizing the skin and deepening the scar. A scar forms because melanin (the chemical that gives your skin its natural pigment) is sent to "color up" the area where skin was lost through scabbing. This often results in dark splotches. Bleaching creams work to reduce the amount of melanin in a specific area. Overtime, the skin will lighten and no trace of the scar can be found. By having protection against UVA and UVB rays, the already sensitive skin around a scar won't be irritated, and its appearance won't be worsened.
Summary: Reduce scar irritation with a readily available silicone gel sheets at drugstores. Cover a scar with a light layer of bleaching cream. Apply sunscreen, with an SPF of 30 or higher, to prevent over-pigmentation.
