I used neosporin on all my incisions they turned out very nice as long as they're not red hot to the touch or oozing anything you should be ok

Anyone else having problems with their incisions ????

Is that your belly button? I can't tell

Yes its the belly button ... bothering me the most!

After 10 months of the surgery I can hardly see the scars. It will look better along the way.

Good luck!! :)

I used neosporin hydrocortisone anti itch cream. It is for eczema and it worked great on my incisions. They were red, itchy and a little scabby until I used it.

If you had single incision that will certainly hurt the most your belly button is a tender spot so expect to be more sore than most

You could try Bio Oil scar treatment. You should be able to find it near the band-aids at the pharmacy, or in the pharmacy section of the grocery store. It might help keep it moisturized, and not so dry and itchy.

I used bacitracen ointment,,when you go to sleep place it on your booboo and cover with gauze so it will moisten thru the nite.. I also put vitamin e oil on all my invisions daily(when i remember).good luck.
