Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Pearl, Mel is absolutely correct! Do NOT use vitamin E on your incision scar. After the DS I used it and before the 2nd hernia repair, my scar was nearly 3 inches wide. When Dr. K looked at it he said, " you've been using vitamin E, haven't you. " He told me that E will make the skin more elastic and therefore will allow stretching. _____ From: DS_Friends_Keshishian [mailto:DS_Friends_Keshishian ] On Behalf Of Pearlmae@...

I had heard about Vitamin E being good for making scars less, but had never heard or even thought about it being bad for new incisions. Thank you very much for telling me this. I really appreciate the heads up. Pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
