Please accept my apologies in not replying to your question. I have been away and Internet etc signal was "hit and miss".
The creams recommended to me were either E45 or Aveeno. I opted for Aveeno because it is more fluid in texture and massages in and also I had no staining on my clothes. I love it.
I still massage twice a day but I too have hard areas which will not soften. My scar is an almond shape. I have no nipples...all that was cut out on both breasts due to necrosis also. Awaiting to see surgeon next month...12 weeks post operations and will discuss the hard areas.
May I ask, do you have any feeling in your breast and tummy...mine I cannot feel at all not even around the new tummy button created for me? Is this normal?
I wish you evety success in your recovery. As I often say, it is baby steps.
I have been using Active Silver for years now and asked them if their Body Butter was suitable for Cancer Patients and in particular for scarring help. Their response and advice :
"it has Colloidal Silver to help ensure any wounds are kept clean but also Colloidal Gold which is very good for the scarring and healing"
I used this after the biopsy in my breast and it healed much more quickly and minimised the itchy healing feeling.
I will be using it when I have my operation in 2024.
Apologies for the late reply, I am fairly new to the forums.
