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? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

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.. ------------- Mum to two very active boys, born October 2008 and December 2010.

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? |
