Some of you might know; 2 weeks ago I had a surgery under my right arm
They removed 3 cysts. It was my 3rd surgery there in 4 years

I'd like to help this whole thing scar better
What should I use?
I heard that Vitamine E in oil could help, other suggestions?

Thank you!

I used Vitamin E and it does work. I tried Bio Oil and it didnt work on my scars. Just make sure u keep ur scars away from the son that will make the scars worse

Thank you for the advice!
It's true that when you put a scar under the sun, it becomes darker o_0
But anyway, it's waaaaay under my arm, and since I don't wear non-sleeved shirts anymore I guess I'll be ok on that one

I heard about Bio Oil too not being as good as they pretend...
And it's expensive!

The higher the i.u in Vit e oil, the better. I use 70,000.

I bought Bio Oil years ago when it first came on the market and I thought it was overrated and saw little change to the scar I was trying to trat.

Clarins beauty repair concentrate is what I used after an ankle surgery....the scar is nearly invisible. Also, neosporin scar strips help smooth any problem scars out, but I hear people are having trouble finding them now and they may have stopped making them......I used to get them at Target.

I had surgery and had a 12 inch scar which was horrible... I have tried various products and the best and most natural was Arnica oil

Merderma is what I used after my C-section and I can't even tell I had a cut and I also used it for my sons cut on his forehead that he had stitches in and no signs of a scar is present. My OB/GYN has a certified Plastic surgeon to do his c-section cuts and he advised me to use mederma

I starting seeing a difference in him in about 2 weeks...It was completely smoothed in about 4-5 weeks

My c-section scar took about 8-10 weeks to be completely smoothed...it was much longer than his scar....

update! Mederma does not itch like at first... I've been little little using it more.. I was doing only once a day but I guess my skin it's getting used to the product and its better and I am seeing an improvement!!!! try it!!! I talk to the company and they said that if the itching continued, they would give me the money back ;-) but I am not gonna need that and I am excited I really want this to work ;-)

I do have to say that I make sure I put it only where the scar is and I rub the product gently of course but I do rub it ;-) HTH

keloid scars are kind of different.....My sister had to have a cortizone shot to flatten hers then she used merderma to smooth the appearance
