Title: Best post op scar treatments?
Post by: Meowt on May 09, 2016, 07:40:46 AM
Looking around online and I'm wondering which scar treatment will be best for fading scars and for reducing the chance of them sticking out?

Also wanting to not spend too much, some of the Scar Away treatments I've seen have been £70ish, I was hoping for something in the £20-£30 range.

Also looking for strips that'd cover the full incision line, there's a lot that probably wouldn't be long enough.


Thanks in advance

I used neosporin on surgical scar on my knee and a third degree burn on my chest, you can still see the scars but it helped a lot.

kelocote is probably your best bet. i don't know if you can get it there but it's about $40 canadian which translates to about £20 like you wanted. it is used for hypertrophic scars and keloids and it is silicone so it helps with the fading. it's a gel so you apply a pea size on each side of your chest (which is all you will need) and it is self drying.

Anything silicone based.
