Scar Creams....

[ship4]

I don't know what others are using for moisturizing your surgical scars, however, I have tried lots of different things and have found one I just love!
It is called broken link removed: https://www.dermatone.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=2&idproduct=3 and is an ointment that comes in a tin can that has sunscreen built into it. It is similar in texture to polysporin, bacitracin, and vaseline. As a skier, I use this on my face to protect it from the elements. It keeps my face soft and smooth too. I have been using it on my scar and it is working great. Just thought I would share.
Best,
Crystal

My OS told me to get Merderma. It also has a sunscreen.
It is to be applied 3 times a day for 8 weeks.
Seems to be working so far.

OOPS! It's MEDERMA. Sorry about that.

My PT said to use Vitamin E, which I still use.....since hubby bought the little caplets, I have to poke each one with a little pin and pour the stuff on the scar :

But it does portion control and it seems to help. My scar looks better than my sister's. Whenever we're together I say "Let's compare scars!" No sibling competition issues with us!

Aquaphor was/is popular with many, vitamin E had some negative aspects. In old posts somewhere.
