A cream or ointment with lavender will help it to fade. I put as much lavender as I can into a bottle, cover it with olive oil, and set it in a window for two weeks (shaking daily). Then, I strain the oil and melt beeswax, adding the oil to it and cooling. I then apply the resulting ointment as often as I think about it. Fading usually occurs within two weeks. I hope this helps!!
