I am using a silicone scar patch. Cica-Care Silicone scar patch, Amazon. Cut to size, reusable. Use 24/7 for 2-4 months. Laightly wash 2x a day. When the sticky starts to wane, put in the refrigerator and it will come back. Should last for many months.

Look for gentle, non-irritating products that don't contain harsh chemicals, dyes, or fragrances since skin can become more sensitive during treatment. It's recommended to ask your doctor for specific product recommendations that would work best for your situation. If you're experiencing cording or banding (also known as axillary web syndrome) after lymph node removal, talk to your healthcare provider about treatment options. While scarring may improve with time, treatments like massage, stretching, and anti-inflammatory medications can help manage scar tissue development.
