Scars

Is it normal for my scars to be really pink? I am almost 2 months out. My port incision has raised also. Will the color and scars fade?

Thanx for the info! I got a big tub of organic coconut oil at Wal-Mart for less than $10 and it lasts forever! You look great by the way :)

Thanks Sunshine... Coconut oil works great. Rub it daily if you can. It will help out a lot. Most important thing is to keep it moisturized...

Im concerned how my TT scar is going to do in the tanning bed.... going to start today... so we shall see....lol

Nooooooo! Noooo tanning bed!!!!! Speaking of coconut oil, i've been wallowing in it all day. Im thinking ill put it on twice a day... morning and night

so read your NOOOO no tanning beds.... and i thought.... hummmm maybe i should call my PS. So i called and he said... It has been almost a year and i am safe to tan....

Thanks goodness..... cuz we all know that tan fat looks better than white fat.....lol

Tanning beds are now listed as carcinogenic to humans . Its the worst thing you can do. Its straight radiation to your skin. Look up Scott Barnes Body Bling and St. Tropez products... both are sunless and awesome

So these sunless products, how Long do they last? Like if you go swimming will it come off? In Patches perhaps? Are you talking spray tans or lotions? I've never used either but it sure woul be easier than trying to get away to tan. Also does tanking beds help with scars or make them worse? I remember my sister used a tannin cream once and her hands were orange lol... That was awhile ago but scared me off!

You can get someone to give you a spray tan... groupon has alot of specials
