Scarring

I was told once it was healed to use E45 or something like it. I think Boots also sell bio-oil which can help with scars.

A few years on and the scars have faded to barely visible and you can only see the skin graft due to the slight colour difference.

I was surprised at how much they've settled down and E45 is now a daily routine for me.

Thanks, that's helpful. It's early days I know but I'm just anxious particularly around the skin graft

Hi Romy60, I've heard of some research which says we shouldn't use Bio-Oil anymore.  Sorry but I can't remember more than that.  I just used any plainish moisturiser I had and it's fading anyway.  Can your skin nurse specialist be of help with your   questions? 

The scar will fade quite a bit in time and with some very gentle massage after the wounds have healed the lumps and bumps will go too.  X

Thanks, I hadn't heard that about Bio oil. I'm back at the hospital on Friday so I'll ask then
