Or gull bladder is similar

I work with scars in my profession. Any oil (E,emu) will work on reducing the built up scar fibers. The trick is not really in the oil, but the actual rubbing and working of the scar tissure. Manually breaking it down and tearing apart the fibers. It's not going to be pain-free, but it's worth it. Scar tissue has no elasticity to it, so you have to stretch it out manually by rubbing , kneading, retrograde massge. Try googling it?

Thanks for that info. I'm a keloider so I'm expecting it. I'll have to break out my massage therapy skills to try and reduce the scarring.

But trying to explain my current keloids ...is a chore.

None of mine are keloid. They are pretty light but you can still see them. I made the mistake of sunbathing too soon so they turned dark for a bit. Yes, I rock a 2 piece! Lol! I don't really care what anyone thinks. As far as a guy, well I'm married so I don't have to worry about it. If he's worth it, he'll understand. If he's a one night stand and you dont want to explain, hit the lights!

He didn't even noticed...it wasn't my scars he was interested in lol ;)

Funny I had my gall bladder laproscopically removed about 14 years ago and then the sleeve almost 2.5 years ago, and once I had "fresh" VSG scars I couldn't even FIND my GB ones. They have really faded quite a bit. I'm definitely not rocking a two piece tho...skin, stretch marks and scars..oh my! Good thing I'm married. :P

Oh and appropriate bedroom attire will certain take the eye away from scars OR cover them completely. ;)
