Scar creme on surgery cut

by shannonwooten, Mar 28, 2007 12:00AM

Tags: scar, orthopedic, pharmacy, vitamin, Work

I could easily look up good working scar cremes online but I'm wondering what maybe some of you have used.

I want to apply some scar creme to a surgery cut but not sure works the best. I have heard neosporin and cocoa butter (Not fond of the smell but I can put up with it if you recommend it)

What do you guys use?

2 inch scar on my collarbone

I got scar fading gel online, www.skinlight.com. I think it is working, Only had it 2 weeks, I have a nasty scar on my forearm following an accident, I think the colour has faded slightly. I also use Bio-oil to keep it moist.
