Worried about my scars

decemberm · 11-09-2007, 02:23 PM

I am about 5 weeks PO and my scars seemed ok for a while, but now it seems as though they are getting worse. They appear more red and lumpier. On one side, there are red areas around the actual incision. What could this be? I have seen pictures of some women who's scars seem to look really good in a relatively short amount of time. Mine seem to be looking worse.

Did anyone else experience this? I use Lidex cream daily as directed by my PS and I sometimes put cocoa butter on them, but not often.

Crease Incision - btw

Mine were really bad at first but I started using Curad Scar Therapy on them and they look great now, you can hardly see them and you can't feel them when you run your finger along them.

Try using Scar guard. It really works. It takes time after all it's only been five weeks. Just be patient. If you still are concerned see your PS.

All the Best, Christine
