Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 If you are prone to keloids, there's not much you can do but schedule your shots for early on. I used Scargo to fade it, starting at 4 weeks. But I'm a keloid former & that's all there is.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I did this everytime I changed the bandages and after the bandages came off too, and my scars have healed wonderfully. Was it the Vit E and aloe or the massaging or did I just heal good anyway? I don't know, but I would do it again every time. Whatever the reason, it worked. scar prevention I was wondering what others Drs. told them to do for scar prevention. I had my lower body lift on 9/29 and doc told me to start massaging the insicion with hand cream or vit E. Anyone else try this or anything else? I was wondering if i didnt do it would have a a really bad scar? I have trouble looking at it right now so massaging it is like torture for me open RNY 01-22-01 Dr. Elliot Goodman NJ Lower body 09-29-03 Lift Dr. A.
