It can also help with skin inflammation and irritation, such as that which may occur with a scar.

How much fenugreek you’ll need depends entirely on the size of the scar. Start with a tablespoon or two, and if there is extra store in the fridge for up to three days.
Soak the seeds overnight in warm water, or until they are soft (even “slimy”) feeling. Drain and grind into a paste. If the paste is too thick, you can sprinkle little warm water at a time until it is the proper consistency-thick but easily spreadable, not thin. Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry. Apply enough to cover the scar and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.
As as it can be drying, better to use some moisturizing cream.
