City: Somewhere in Ontario State: Ontario (CANADA!) | I'm pretty sure she meant vitamin E oils!
BTW, just a word of caution before ya start putting vitamin E oil on your skin....it can cause a wicked allergic reaction in a number of people; so be sure to check a small area first!!! I know this from experience....I can't use vit. E on my skin at all.

City: Mexico, 7/10/06 State: Mexico, 7/10/06 | Yes, I mean vitamin E oils.
I had one of the best plastic surgeons in the world and you can ask Amy, she couldn't even tell I had been burned. They do awesome wonders. I mean after skin grafts and neck surgery, foot surgery and now my scars from this surgery already look fabulous. I use the oil, my surgeon, (burn) said it's the best, but you can buy it in lotion form, butter form and capsules and probably other ways too.

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | Does it work on scars that are not new and fresh? Also, does it help reduce keloids?
Thanks.

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | Awesome, I think I am going to head out to the drugstore today then. My scars from my band don't bother me too much, but I have some really bad ones on my breasts from when I had reduction surgery about a million years ago. I have always hated them. It is definitely worth a shot and I have nothing to lose but the ugly scars. | |

City: Murphy State: Texas | You can purchase Vitamin E oil in a small bottle at Walmart for about $4. Just bought some today. It is located where all of the over-the-counter vitamins are displayed. Just wanted to share...

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | Honestly, I wouldn't be trying to cure an infection at home by myself. If I were you, I would contact my doctor immediately. | |

i would contune to put triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on it the peroxide i'd stop for a little bit, also dont keep the bandaid on it all day, let the cut dry out, infection like wet dark places, so maybe in the morning or b4 you go to bed take the bandaid off clean the cut with soap and water, dry it with a towel and let it dry out for maybe an hour or 2.

City: Lansing State: Michigan | yeah I've been wearing a bandaid to bed at night but during the day it's open to dry. It's not a horrible infection but it does have some puss coming out of it and it's not a sealed together incision like my other 4. The Lap Band center said to keep putting the ointment on and see how it does.
