This is just a general question. I've just had a basa cell removed from my nose which has healed by secondary intention
Apart from staying out of the sun and wearing sunblock has anyone got any ideas on what can be worn over the scar as a physical block for added protection?
Sometimes I have to go out and I'd feel a lot better if I could have some kind of plaster or dressing on it.
After my first op I used a silicone scar treatment cream - kelocote. I got the one with SPF 30. It's supposed to form a silicone layer over the scar and to help it disappear. I never felt that it really dried on properly, as they talked about peeling it of at the end of the day but I did feel a bit protected by it. I put loads of factor 50 and make up on top! You can buy silicone sheets too which might be good depending on where your op was. I got it from Amazon,£25 for a little tube, but it has lasted a long time. I use a tinted factor 50 - Ultrasun. It's all costing me a fortune!
Healing up quite fast but a bit of a mess - the end of my nose is quite bumpy and a strange shape! I'm trying not too examine it too much. I'm going out more and not feeling so self conscious, but I wouldn't be winning any beauty contests!
