Hi gang. How are you. Just a queary. Can anyone help me? I would like some advice on how to help keep my scars looked after and my graft site looked after too. It gets a bit itchy but i never scratch it. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Russ, How are you? I would try cortizone 10 cream with Aloe.
It really helps. Do you get that in Darlington? Where is Darlington? Hope this works for you.

Hi Russ


I was told to use vitamin E oil, I noticed a big difference, it softens the scar and skin also it does not look as red. I was also told about Aloevera Gel, (must be pure aloevera) this can be used for burns also, such as radiotherapy burns.
Best of luck

Hello to all, Tracey is right about the cream to use. I use the Vitamin E oil with lanoline. NO cortizone, it is to harsh..Sorry Cathy. This is what I have found out for myself. Everyone is different tho.....

Hi gang. Thanks for the replies. Darlington is in the north east of england. In county durham. I will go out and get some aloe vera gel. Thanks again for your replies.

Hello Russ,

I have been trialing Dermatix for 2 months for the tissue viability nurse. Its a silicon based gel that reduces scar tissue. It really has flattened my scars, taken out their colour and reduced their itching (both neck section and forearm flap scars). You can get it on prescription in the U.K. Might be worth asking your GP about it.

Hello Russ, Thanks I'm still learning about England. Also Vicki
what ever works I just found that cortizone really helped me.
Have a good weekend all?
