Morning all!

I wanted to know if anyone had any scar remedies, creams or treatments they could recommend.

Zulily.com has Scar away cream on sale and I was wondering if it was any good.

See pic attached

I've tried things like mederma and they never made much of a difference to me. My mom has always sworn by popping open a vitamin e capsule and using that.

Thanks auntie

I tried scar away (for band surgery as well as c section), I think it does make a difference If you use it religiously and incorporate other skin healing treatments like dry body brushing, aloe vera gel, coconut/almond oil etc. honestly I lost interest in the scar away bandage thingies so I cant be sure how much credit they get in diminishing my barely visible scars. but I'd suggest trying Bio oil too which Ive seen a lot of good reviews about. And aloe vera, Im in love with the stuff and use it all the time. Its easy to care for as a plant too and you can just chop a piece off every morning and rub the goowy gel right into your skin!

Cool suggestions!!! Thanks!!!

My pleasure good luck! :-)

I used Mederma on my sleeve scars for maybe a week before I got bored with it. Within a year they had faded to being barely visible. I've been using BioCorneum on my plastic surgery scars and that seems to be working well, although I really think genetics and the skill of the surgeon really matter more than anything else.

Genetics?..ugh! I guess I'm doomed. I scar with mosquito bites ????

I have to go to a dermatologist and get shots in my incisions to make the scars go away. I produce to much collagen, which in tern cause big scars. Not fun at all. But, I am sure a dermatologist could also help with this issue with regular scars.

Are you African-American? Are these keloid scars? A good experienced dermatologist can help with scar revision.

I haven't had the surgery yet. I was just asking for future reference.

If the scars bother me too much later on I will probably just cover them with tats
