Senior Member repo-man Posted April 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Had my staples taken out yesterday at Dr. Feller's office. I must say, there is a HUGE difference in how you feel once they are out! Has anyone used Mederma or any other such product on the scar? I'm currently applying Aloe Vera and was wondering when I could start with the scar treatment. Any suggestions? Also, I've updated my blog with Day 10 pictures to track my progress.

Senior Member dakota3 Posted April 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes, Mederma is good, but for these types of scars it works very minimally. It's best for minor sarring. I guess if it makes it look a little better than its better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Goldstar Posted April 8, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hey repo. I used mederma a day after I took my stitches out. Im not sure if I heal good or if its the mederma but it seems to be working good so far. Im 31 days post op and it feels as the scar is starting to smooth out little by little. I mean its worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted April 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Congrats to you! Yes.......I remember the feeling when the staples came out........mine didn't really hurt while they were in but they were annoying for some reason. I don't think you can go wrong by using Mederma and/or Aloe Vera. I used Mederma for the first few months but got out of the habit of applying. I suppose you never know how much it helps but it certainly won't hurt any.

Senior Member repo-man Posted April 8, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks for the advice! I am going to start Mederma today and hopefully it will work its magic. The only hassle of this is that it needs to be applied 3-4 times per day.
