Hiya, I'm new to this forum and am waiting for excision of BCC but wanting to get prepared for skin care post op. Can I ask what moisturiser people use on scar once it's  healed. Thank you. 

  • when it was healed and I had had my 6 week post op consultation with Consultant and he agreed it was time to moisturise and masage, I used bio oil.  He told me vaseline, the old fashioned Nivea in the blue tin or bio oil. I was then told I could start and use my normal make up creams etc but remember to use lashings of Factor 50 sun protection. I use No 7 facial sun cream factor 50 in the white tube with yellow top, it is brilliant.  Are you having skin graft surgery or just normal excision. x

  • Thank you for your reply. I don't know yet what exactly they are going to do. All I know is that I am seeing a plastic surgeon who will decide on the day he does the excision what he needs to do to get the best outcome. My appointment isn't until the end of November, so it feels a long wait.
