Question:
Scars....

Anybody have any ideas to put on the bumps/scabs to reduce scaring. 1 1/2wks out from Lap RYN. Those little areas feel like worms under the skin...I hope they go away....    — Nikkijo30 (posted on September 21, 2007)

They do go away (rather become just little scars with no bumps) I just used Neosporin. It helps them to heal faster and reduces scaring. Now I am almost 6 months post op from Lap RNY and they are red and flat with my skin. Good luck, God bless and welcome to the losing side!

They will get better, I used Bacitacin Ointment because sometimes the others can cause little tiny red bumps that become red and they do get itchy. Take care and good luck!

Mine went away, my surgery was over 6 years ago, and I am 50:( so even for older folks like me they just disappear over time:)

Vitamin E oil seems to help them feel better, and you can also try cocoa butter lotion. I forgot the name of it, but it's the one women use for stretch marks. It comes in a big bottle with a pump.
