help with scar from mascetomy.
Hi all
I am looking for help. I am almost four weeks post mascetomy. Drain is out and scar is healing well, i am looking for advice on what cream is best to help my scar heal and soften. it is hard...
Hi Sharon
As long as you have no open areas in the skin, begin to use Bio Oil - not the cheapest product but excellent. It is soft and easy to use. I was given some when in hospital (a gift from a friend) which was the best gift as I would not have thought to buy it for myself.
Once I began to get lymphoedema and attended a masseur for that she recommended I gently massage across the scar and this has done wonders to break up the bumpy bits. My scar is now a fine line and people who have seen it are quite amazed.
TIP - buy the big bottle as you will find it a great product. Watch out for a special as you can get it at pharmacies (and Chemist Warehouse) quite reasonable at about 20% off the normal price. You do not use much at a time as it spreads well.
Enjoy the experience as well, it has a delightful light perfume.
Hope this helps.
Summer :-)
