Started Scar Treatment

I'm been doing scar treatment on my tummy and arms a little over a week now. 

On my tummy, I'm using Scarguard MD.  It's not my first choice but I had a 500 dollar credit at my previous plastic surgeon and used it to buy the only treatment he sold.  It goes on very easily and dries quickly.  It forms sort of a silicone scab.

On my arms, I'm using the 7 inch Scar Away strips.  One strip gets nearly the whole scar on my arm.  The part it doesn't cover has hair to hide it.  They stay on well but I need a small bit of tape to keep them from rolling up at one end.

I've got my week 3 pics up and you can already see the difference from my Day 13 pics.

First off...Congratulations!!!  You look incredible. 
Secondy...I was not a huge fan of Scarguard so I stopped using it.  Good to know there is something else out there.

I started on February 4th with Dermatix (a silicone gel).  I'm only using it on half of my LBL.  i want to see if it really makes a difference.  So far, I don't see much of a difference.

Who suggested Genes vitamin E to you? My doc said nothing is necessary but I was planning on using Vitamin E, just not sure of the brand. Jenny
