Hi. Any recommendations on moisturiser for mastectomy scar. I was looking at Aveeno but they do a lot of different ones and not sure which one to try.
I used E45 on my lumpectomy scar.
Hi RKD,
I was advised by my Doctor ypto you Baby Aveeno, as it is very mild and better for delicate skin,
Hope this helps.
Take care hun.xxx
A friend who has also had a mastectomy recommended E45. Although I was given a bottle of zerobase at the start of my radiotherapy so I’ve been using that as well. I was also told it wasn’t so much about the type of cream it was that you were massaging the scar. This helps it heal.
Take care.
