scar reduction

I know a lot of people have said this but the Vitamin E cream works great. I had foot surgery a little over a month ago and my doctor says the scars are healing incredibly fast. I started using it 3 or 4 times a day the minute I got the hard cast off. I think that stuff is a little mircle on a bottle.0

were you cutting a orange with a Katana?I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.0

Don't know if it worked as I only tried it a couple times, but I definitely believe that scar tissue could become more flexible.
Good advise!
I was in a really bad car accident and gashed my face wide open straight through and needed about 200+ stitches. I had a plastic surgeon and he said the most important thing was massaging the scar tissue (I used Vitamin E also) and staying out of the sun/using sun block. I did it faithfully and you can barely see my scar now...
Good luck and keep consistent care!0 -
My physical therapist recommended Mederma when I had neck surgery, which left a nice scar. i never used it, but it's supposed to work pretty good.0

thanks for all the suggestions!
fucker HURRTSSSS :mad: :( feels real tight which i guess is a good sign, means it's mending.
but still...OW lol0 -
Damn! :( .....that was one nasty looking cut!
Not sure if anybody here has suggested it ....but I find Neosporin products really facilitate the healing process and also lessen visible scars. I have had more than my share of wipeouts on my mountain bike and I have found every time I use the cream they heal quicker and diminish the visibility of the scars. Here is a link to the website ...I haven't tried the patches they mention but the cream has worked well for me.

Chiq, what about Bepanthen? You know it's for nursing mothers? Stops cracked, dry nipples? It has antiseptic properties me thinks. Might soften it up a little, make it less "tight" and stop it hurting so much?NOPE!!!

Ah don't worry girl. I got a wee bit hammered and passed out meself!you seem to be drinking us all under the table most nights
I was pretty hammered tonight but not as bad as friday. I made it back here alone and am writing this to you cohesively. how goes?"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"0 -

Actually J, I was a good gal and had an alcohol free evening last night. Which was great an all except I didn't have a sleeper either, (thought I'd clean up me act for a day) and I was still sitting here at 3.30am. :rolleyes: which of course meant I was snacking.
Yes you are writing cohesively!But then I'd expect nothing less! Some of us are excellent drunk typers, myself being the master!
NOPE!!!

:eek: Jerk!
Some people are so weird. Its like they don't know what to say, so they come up with the worst thing!
I'm glad you're back at work for a little while. It'll all heal up soon. Its amazing how quickly the body mends itself0 -
Keep it moisturised!
I've used creams containing oatmeal which contains vitamin E and, even if my skin looks funny here and there, there are no welts. (I would get scratched up a lot while trekking in the woods.)
Avoid the sun.
Don't scratch.
And next time don't use a drinking glass for throwing practice. A milk carton will do just fine.0 -
