Recent BCC excision ; seeking scar advice please

Look online for "scar reduction plasters, strips" and other  scar products

Thanks! Plasters tend to give me a rash. I’ve seen some stuff on La Rochey Posay Cicloplast cream. 

Hi Erik and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place to be.

When I had a melanoma removed from my arm 8 years ago I was left with a scar about 6 inches long. When I asked the skin cancer nurse specialist what was the best thing to use to reduce the visibility of the scar she advised me just to moisturise with something simple like E45 a couple of times a day and told me not to waste my money on expensive potions. I followed her advice and my scar is barely visible.

By contrast, I used Bio-Oil (very expensive IMHO) on a lumpectomy scar two years ago and, although it too is fading, it's no better than the cheap E45.

Thanks Latchbrook, that’s very helpful specific information. I’ll buy some E45 cream and give it a shot and not invest in the more expensive lotions and potions. The scars on my shoulders are about 3 inches.

Anyway thanks so much. 
All the best. 

Hi, I've been using Cicoplast cream for 8 or 9 months on multiple skin graft wouds on my forehead and on the donar sites on my arms, very good results. A very little goes a long way and really does help to soften the scar tissue

Thank you for the insight. 
All the best 

Hi  Erik  My plastic surgeon told me vaseline was very good.  However once things had settled down and scabs gone I massged a few times every day and hard with Bio Oil.  My scars are barely visible now.  I had a skin graft and a skin flap both on my face whch looked horrendous for a few months, but now hardly noticeable.  You have to be firm when doing it, so that is why you have to wait until scabs and healing are done  Good Luck.  These bcc's are so annoying and I am not a sun worshipper, don't know about you, but I am 75 and apparently old age can cause them !!
