    Gosh you poor thing. Once the wound is no longer ‘open’ you can use rose hip oil (Swisse/Trilogy/Sukin). That did wonders on my C-Section scar. Can’t even see it now. :-))

    Vitamin E is meant to be good,especially the oil from the capsules.

      I used Vitamin E oil capsules (as recommended by my dermatologist) to help heal my surgical scar post-skin cancer surgery & lemme tell you, it worked wonders. Even now almost 3 years on since that surgery I can barely detect it on my face. Mind you, I do use other skincare as well & that`s probably helped; but in that initial stage the Vitamin E oil capsules helped. I just massaged it into my forehead for 5 minutes every night for the first 3 months, then I didn`t have to use it again. It is quite thick though, so best applied at night.

        Surgeon also recommended Vit E capsules (once healed over) for small scar near inner eye from bcc removal 10 years ago now.

        Can’t believe how well it worked – because it was a small scar he’d said to prick the capsule with a pin to allow a drop or two – that’s all I needed.

        If I had another or bigger scar (fingers crossed) I’d give Eco Tan Glory Oil a go as the results seem astounding.

        Apologies for graphic picture coming up – don’t ignore a skin lesion!

        My GP also recommended using the contents of vitamin E capsules a few years ago to heal a burn. It worked brilliantly and I was left with no scarring.

        I hadn`t tried it myself but have read a lot about it and how it is meant to be beneficial so good to hear it has worked for you.

    Thank You all. They glued it instead of stitching. It’s healing up surprisingly well.That photo was three weeks ago. I will look for that scar product but they told me there will be a scar all I can do is minimise it

    Oooohhh ouch!!

    I got a deep cut in the same place about a month ago and have been trying to promote healing and reduce scarring myself. I’m making sure to use sun protection on the area and now that it’s fully closed I massage cream with vitamin E into it regularly (apparently the massaging promotes healing as well). I can’t say it’s fully disappeared but it’s definitely so far made a difference in darkness and contrast.

    MediHoney dressing is good for general overall healing.

    Ouch!

    ScarAway Silicone Gel or ScarAway Scar treatment sheets should help some.

    Oo ouch, that’s a nasty one! When the wound closes, I would suggest pure rosehip oil to reduce the scarring and make sure to give it really good massage to stimulate some blood and lymph flow x
