scar cream recs needed
Hi girls - anyone have a rec for a scar cream? I had surgery on my neck last week (they took out the right side of my thyroid, had a huge growth) and the doc said I can start massaging and applying cream to it next week. The doc's office mentioned Mederma so I ordered some but it has mixed reviews online so I thought I'd see if anyone had a good experience with either Mederma or another cream.
I also had surgery in September to remove my gallbladder so I can also use it on those scars. It's been a long two months 
Thanks!
Re: scar cream recs needed
sorry about all that surgery!! no idea about the creams but wanted to mention that if you are ok w/your skin being temporarily orange, that curcumin works really well. it is a root that looks like ginger but when you cut it open it is orange inside - it's been shown to help with skin healing and is what my mom would rub on my scrapes/wounds when I was a little kid to help minimize scarring. she would just cut it open and rub it on there, or cut off a small piece and make a slight paste with it and rub it on
not sure where you can get it but since you are in the LA area I know you can get it at most Asian supermarkets so I would check there.
