New scar

Thankyou Liz49.
emmasnan I read online that Vaseline is very good for healing, as it seals the wound from germs, and 'disolves' the dead skin and blood (yuk!).
So I've been using that.
From the point of view of healing I would really recommend it.

I fell and cut my shin down to the bone a few years ago. The nurse who did the dressings suggested I massaged in, any good quality moisturiser as it healed and for a while after.
I followed her advice and the scarring is much less than I was expecting,

Another vote for Bio Oil from me too. Shop around a bit as it's not cheap.

I've read your link Thank you V3ra.
I wish I'd asked the question earlier, as I might have been able to prevent the scar from getting this bad with the product you suggested.
Still I shall definitely try it now.

It says it works on old or new scars, so definitely worth a try still.

Thankyou LadyGracie for your help.

I used Bio Oil on my hysterectomy scar also spinal and wrist scars, it does help to fade them almost completely.

Have a look at this product.

I've also read of good results with rosehip oil or Bio-Oil.

I've seen that one advertised, and did wonder.
I'll give it a go Auntieflo Thank you for the reply

Bio Oil was good for massaging into my knee replacement scar.
Smells good too.
