Scar Tissue?

Hi C.,
Melaleuca oil is great for helping healthy skin regrow and reducing scaring. Just apply it to the area daily. I get mine through a company called Melaleuca. You can find it in the store but quality varies.
Blessings and Health,

I had surgery several years ago to remove bone spurs from the tops of my feet, and experienced something similar. Mederma helped the scars, but also I would find relief by soaking my feet in warm water, then massaging the area with lotion afterward. It would hurt at first, but after a while it felt like things "loosened up." I rarely have pain now, unless pressure is placed directly on the scar (like my kids step on them).

I had heard and have used and it works...

Eucerin has a product called Aquafor. It helps heal as well as lighten the scar coloration, etc.

My hubby used this on his leg for a large scar and I've used it on 2 c-sections....

Hi C. - when I had surgery I took Vitamin E pills and put Vitamin E oil on the incision. You can get the oil at the drug store. It worked wonders for me. You can also get some Healing Touch, acupuncture or pressure, or other energy work that can help with the healing.

Good luck!

Try the Mederma, I think it is over the counter, I'm not sure since all my husbands meds and creams are prescribed. He has scars on his hand surfaces from skin grafts. One important thing is to stretch them often or they will tighten up and cause you to loose some movement. Massage Therapy has also been something that's extremely beneficial to bad scarring. Relaxing too :D Keep stretching!

I would talk to your Dr. about it to get their reccommendation. When I had a laparoscopic surgery on my knee, the Physical Therapists had me rubbing the scars. Granted these incisions were small. They said that would help to break up the scar tissue. The scars were tender and lumpy. But rubbing them did seem to help. I had to put some pressure on them while I rubbed, so it wasn't always comfortable. My scars became flat and were no longer tender after that. They said I had to press and rub in a circular motion to help break up the scar tissue that was forming. Just a suggestion that worked for me. Good luck, V.

I had some scar tissue that was giving me problems and went to a Chinese Medicine Dr. He gave me some Moxa to use at home and it helped a great deal. Also Vitamin E oil could help. The Moxa was just a stick I would light and direct the smoke at my scar. There was noticeable difference in the look and feel of the scar after doing the treatment for a while. Good luck!

That sounds uncomfortable.
Arbonne has a couple of products that actually have helped many people to erase scars, even older ones. Your skin is probably healing but also maybe dry.

Mederma is good for scar tissue.

I would also call the doctor back and see about getting some therapy done (probably at a physical therapy type clinic)They can use ultrasound or things like that to help the scar tissue "lay down" better and facilitate healing. Also, cross fiber massage (meaning gently massaging across the scar (not the length)will help it as well.

Good luck,
