 Topic: Best cream for scar?
Posted: 13 May 2011 at 9:48am |

I am 6 months post c section and my scar is still really red, lumpy, itchy, tender etc. I'll get my gp to have a look next time I'm there just to make sure everything is ok. She did prescribe me a cream to use a while back which helped a bit but I used it all so was just wondering which OTC cream is best to help with the scarring?

Aloe vera is good, just cut a piece off the plant and use the sitcky green goo.

Lucas' Papaya cream in the red tube with black print... it's kinda like Windex from My Big Fat Greek Wedding!! Really affordable at about $12 a tube or $25-ish for a decent pot of it, and you can use it on your scar, nappy rash, hands, chapped lips, etc etc etc
5 months down the track mine's kinda tender too, only just under the skin so certain clothing is a bit uncomfy..

Bio-oil or vitamin E capsules split open and applied directly to scar and also have one orally as well? Duno my scar was good but I didnt religiously use these products. But the Vitamin E cream worked a wonder on the 8b stitches I had on my face.
Definately show the doctor or maybe a skin specialist if you really concerned?
