I applied nothing to my scars and they healed up just fine. I get massage on a

regular basis which I'm sure has helped break up the scar tissue underneath the

incision, but the scar itself is just a fine white line. Just like those that

have applied all sorts of creams and treatments to theirs ;-).

Cindy's report is consistent with what I have read. Its not so much

what you rub in, but that the area is massaged regularly. There is some

detail on Mederma and other creams at this link

I've been doing this, but not sure if it helps any better than if I did

nothing ...if I had two hips done I could have experiemnted by just putting the

vit E on one, then we'd have a scientific comparison, sort of, but then who

wants to have two that look different?

For years I have used vit E oil (breaking the capsule)rubbing on

wounds/cuts etc. after desinfecting with peroxide. Healing is often 2

times faster than without. I have a lot of experience with this

because I have small injuries to my hands quite often hobbying or

doing things around the house. Vit E also works sometimes on warts,

spots or other skin inflictions.
