Hey all!
So scar is healing well and I put SPF etc on but I wanted to know does anyone put oil on? I didn't want to go buy specifically bio oil if not necessary but do you think just a natural oil like jojoba etc?
Thanks for the input :)
I think for me it also helped with moving the skin gently around that area too, which is ultimately good to prevent scar tissue. Took me a fair while before I was confident with even touching it though but yes if you can, the sooner you start the better
Medullary Thyroid cancer dx May 2023
I had a TT and dissection in Feb 22 and was advised to use bio oil and massage the scars firmly for 10 mins morning and evening. I was obsessive about it and now I’m told by the doctors that my scars are as good as they could be. I think I did it for about 3 months or so.
Hi, I had a hemithyroidectomy about 10 days ago and I am using Aveeno Body Oil Spray for very dry, sensitive skin mixed with pure calendula oil, avocado oil and evening primrose oil. I then lock in the moisture with a layer of vasaline. Already beginning to stop being as red.
