stupid question/scar removal gel
Hello everyone, I am just lurking on the site gathering information on ps doctors that peole like dont like things of that nature.
but hereis my question statment what ever. I was thinking that once iam able to consider plastics t help with scarhealing and such, i was thinking maybe i could mix mederma with neosporin plus pain releaver ointment to put on my scars, for a better healing scar line, if you have seen neosporion on cuts and such and see how it fades down quite a bit i would think that with the mederma would be a great mix.?
any thoughts or suggestions? has anyone tried to use different scar remover creams,gels what did you use , where did u use it and how?
Disclaimer: I told ya in the begining that this may seem like a stupid question but i had to ask.

I would never put neosporin on a healing scar. My plastic surgeon told me that an antibacterial ointment will kill the good healing cells along with the bad stuff. When I had a wound separation with my brachioplasty I just kept it clean and covered.
I used silicon gel sheets to fade my scars. Worked wonderfuly.

There are no stupid questions....we ALL have questions.
I cant speak for your mix but it sounds like it is a bit much. I have been told that you want your incisions to be dry and clean as well. I did use some of antibacterial ointment with pain reliever.
As far as the scars, I used CVS silicone scar treatment sheets. A box is around $24 for 28 small sheets. I have heard that kele-cote silicone gel is good too. After I finish the sheets I will start with the kelecote. I am prone to keloids so Iam going extra long with my treatment.
Does it work...well I am only using it on my arms and it is a difference with these scars compared to the others. They are not raised or dark colored. I believe they will continue to improve.
I hope you find something that works for you!
