Can a few people post what their scars look like and if they did any treatment to minimize?

I use caster oil on my scars..It is the only thing that can absorb into the scar and treat it from the inside out as well as the outside..It makes the scars lighter and softer....

No photo's though....goodness!

Where did you find out about the Castro oil?

From my Osteopath, who works on scars to soften them so that there will be less strain on your skin and organs and muscles if they are pliable....One part is connected to the other part in our bodies and it can have an effect on our system if not looked after..... :)

​Hi, I have attached two pictures. I am currently 3 weeks post op. The round scar isn't healing as fast as the other four. I started using coco butter for scars and stretch marks. It has worked really well so far (5 days). This one round scar is going to take a bit longer. The longer scar (below my belly button) was itchy and red for a bit, but now it's healing and fading. The other scars are also fading.

RJ,

Does caster oil have an odor?

I thought it might after all it is fish oil...lol..but it does not smell..Or if it does no one notices it..No I have never smelled anything fishy...lol ;)

Castor oil is not fish oil . It's thick so I usually add organic coconut oil to it. I keep a bottle in my bathroom to smooth on after a shower or bath. It's so great for the skin and hair.

Thanks Lil Red!
