Brief Answer:
Hard to remove. An image would be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I am not sure what you mean by nail marks that have lasted for 10 years. I assume that the marks were caused using nails 10 years back and the marks have lasted. If that is the case, it is likely that the entire thickness of the skin had been abraded and the healing has occurred by scarring. If that is the case, the scar tissue would not be easy to remove and therefore removal of the marks would not be easy. However, I would insist you to upload an image of the affected areas so that I could be better be able to comment.

Thanks for writing back. I have checked the attachment. You can use Mederma Advanced Skin Care Cream for Scars. But since it is quite old, I am not sure how much response you would get.

Brief Answer:
Apply it thrice daily

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

About Mederma Advanced Cream, apply it thrice daily. Use it for two weeks at least and see if there seems to be a difference.

I would insist you to visit a cosmetic surgeon / plastic surgeon and discuss the options. I doubt if laser would help.
