Is there a safe cream to use to improve the appearance of an unsightly mastectomy scar? I'm not having reconstruction. Will vitamin E help? Are there no side effects?
I use Bio Oil and cocoanut oil.
I use coconut oil.
Vitamin E works well. I use Bio-oil and find that it works really well. I tried the silicone scar strips without any improvement, same for Mederma.
Try Mederma cream.
Rad doc recommended calindula, found in some radiation burn preventative lotions including the one I used during radiation. It is found in health food stores. She also said aloe or acquaphor were good too. I also like cocoa butter. I think the main thing is to use something regularly to keep the skin moisturized and help healing. No one answer, but lots of choices!
