Senior Member ttaco Posted September 9, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2002 I'd like to know what doctors recommend to put on the donor scar after a transplant? Will untreated scars not fade as well as treated ones, or will treated scars just fade quicker than untreated scars? For how long would you recommend using something? Thanks. Results of my 1424 FU transplant procedure on 8/16/02 can be viewed at... http://community.webshots.com/user/ttaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Most wounds treated by occlusion heal faster than those untreated. Occlusion can be done many ways, but the usual way is to apply an ointment to the wounds. Such ointments often contain antibiotics (exaples: neosporin, polysporin, etc.) but plain petrolatum works about as well. There are other occlusive methods but they are more difficult to hold in place due to position of the wound. -B.L.
