Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Although I am over six weeks post surgery the incision is burning. It is especially bad when I lay on my side. Did anyone else have this? I wonder if this is because of them using the same incision twice? Or if it is because of this hapening twice in 36 weeks?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I am not sure why that would be happening. But I would put some rich formula on it to help it heal. I have been using an almond oil/vitamin e blend that I got at a health food store. The most important thing is to keep the incision lubricated with a quality ingredient. The buring could be the skin stretching. Also, it is good to lightly and moderately massage the incision (again with a good creme or oil) after it has initially healed. This helps prevent over-production of collagen (which will prevent a hypertrophic scar) and helps the skin heal quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I no longer go to our local health food store. The owner and I disagree over RU486. She is dramatically prolife and refused to acknowledge that it might have good uses. She wishes to protest so I refuse to support her unless she admits a blanket ban on RU486 is wrong. She said if it was legal for us it would be used wrong so no one should have it. She can sell to others. there is supposed to be a new one opening on the other side of town. Wonder if Walmart has anything? I didn't have these problems with the scars on my hand but the nerves there were half dead. --- skincarebypearl@... wrote: >The most important thing is to keep the incision > lubricated with a quality ingredient.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 If it is vitamin E oil that you are looking for, try K-mart. For my scar I also use the Vitamin A D and E ointment from Kiehls (www.kiehls.com). It's one of Kiehl's least expensive products and I love it.
