Zinc Oxide?

I am PALE as a ghost! I stay away from the sun because I have a scar. (I heard that the scars would stay with you forever if you get a tan AND I get dizzy from the heat!) I have TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).

Someone suggested to apply "zinc oxide" over my scar. I have ONE scar that bothers me! It's right on my face. It connects my eyebrows. (I have others but it doesn't bother me as much)

How can I apply this to my face? Dab it on with my finger? Use Quality-tip; Q-tip for short? Do I apply it RIGHT on my scar or around it (but if I apply around it, wouldn't it look funny if I ONLY NOT get tanned in that section, right?)?

How, how, how?!?! I realize that I sound like a VAIN MO-FO!!

HELP!

I heard that SURFERS use Zinc Oxide on their nose - I forgot to include this bit of info before.

you could use zinc oxide, just dab it on with your finger over the scar. it is white, so you will be going outside with white stuff on your forehead ... it does not rub in.
I would just buy some of the new SPF 50 or 70 sunscreen. make sure you have some that protects against UVA & UVB rays. many of them also have some zinc oxide in them, or other products that are newer that will protect your skin & not be totally opaque & solid white.

to help get rid of your scar you can try a product called mederma - it will help your scar fade a bit.
good luck.
