Scar Creams, Patches, Lotions, etc

[RyanSleeve2014 27]

K, I am nearing my 4 week mark and that is when my Dr said I could start using a scar cream or lotion, etc on my incision spots. I am of Irish descent and have pretty fair/pale skin and tend to scar pretty easily. I'd love tips and recommendations.

While we're at it, tips for moisturizing skin and helping it bounce back after weight loss? I know that's very case by case, but I'd love those tips as well!!

Caster oil for your scars. It is the only thing that actually penetrates your scars and softens them so that you don't get that hard gristly feel to them.

My wife always uses Bio-Oil and it has worked great on her scars. I plan on using it as soon as I can.

I used Mederma PM every night with great results. My scars are small, flat and soft. They are still red, but fading. I am 5 months out from surgery. I know it will take some time for them to fade. I've had other surgeries and the scars are now skin colored. I'm not expecting this to happen until at least a year out.
