scar

hi (i don't have an afro but i love this afro smiley face) anyway, i just wanted to know if anyone has starting putting any type of cream on their stomach scar yet and what type. i'm planning on buying some kind in the next couple of days. sue

I saw my doc last week and he recommend something with aloe. I haven't got anything yet but I know you can get stuff at Walmart.

i have 6 little scars and my dr said they were perfectly healed. they are hardly noticable. but i do believe i need a collagen skin tightener everywhere else. lissa

Hi, I use a cream that contains Vitamin E-and aloe is good also. Eric

My doctor told me just to rub a little baby oil on it while still wet after I take my shower. Rose Monigold

MY DR SAID TAKE A CAPSULE OF VITAMIN E AND BREAK IT OPEN AND RUB IT ON THE SITE.. IT SEEMS TO WORK PRETTY GOOD... BONBON

Hi! My doc's P.A. recommended that I get the highest concentration I could afford of Vitamin E oil. It is working really well and my scars look like little scratches. Good luck! I hear it is expensive, but luckily, someone gave me theirs after I had mentioned that I was going to go out and buy it. It is called Pure Vitamin E, 28,000 IU Oil in a 1 oz. bottle and it is made by Sundown Vitamins. Good Luck! Fran

How soon after surgery is it recommenced that we start putting vit E on the scars? I bought that maderma for scars but felt like I needed to wait until they were fully healed to use it? Vicky

Vicky, Mine were pretty much dried up and had no more scabs. I had been putting Neosporin ointment on them before bed. They were just pink, healed lines with a little redness around them. I think I was a little over a week when he told me no more Neosporin and to switch to Vitamin E. I didn't know Maderma made cream for scars, I thought it was for stretch marks. That's a good company! Good Luck! Fran

Well, I used Mederma and E and Lavender oils with my knee surgery (1.5 years ago). They all worked well. The scars are hardly noticable. I also just bought Strixaderm. good for tightening skin and scars. I am trying it and will let you all know how it goes.... the Strixaderm is VERY expensive. Just my 2 cents. Elisha 219/195.5/???
