Moisturizers?
My PS has me massaging incisions/scars with Lubriderm.

Do you know what the oil base is in Bio Oil? Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Mineral oil??
I used Olive oil on my son's head when he had cradle cap..its an old portugese thing..My son has a beautiful head of hair.. My Dad used Olive oil instead of hair cream.. remember those guys who would slick back their hair..elvis and the like.. that was my Dad.
I am willing to try anything.. at this point.. I am applying my Arnica Massage Oil on my no scabbed areas..I had to dab my nipples with oil cause I thought they might crack..
I might have to change my body soap to Cetaphil..or the walmart equivalent..

Michelle I am with you and I was very concerned about how DRY my skin was after surgery. I still have scars like you and I am careful not to put anything on them, but the skin around the area my PS recommended Lubriderm or Gold Bond. I chose Gold Bond Ultra Healing and it made a HUGE difference in a very short amount of time! :-) I don't know in your area, but last week it was buy one get one 50% off at Happy Harry's. I applied it to my thighs and butt area like 3 times a day and the dry skin was sooooo much better in a day or two!
