The only thing that really helped mine were time. And while I was waiting for them to look 'better' I kind of forgot I even had them.
I was also told by my surgeon to keep my scars out of the sun. I wore a little bandaid over my ostomy scar for a summer or two to make sure the area didn't tan or burn.

You can use everything once fully healed. usually 6 weeks. I wasted so much money on all of that. Sheets, creams, etc. Save your money. Genetics play the best role on how you will heal.

Because I'm a hairdresser I get all that sort of stuff at discount so I've managed to get bio oil for about 6 pounds! Problem is my scar decided not to heal and has busy open at the bottom just like last time!!! I have the worst luck

Thanks for you help guys!

Hydration and very mild massage...I wouldn't touch it for about 8-12 weeks and then just gently massage anything from olive oil to your favorite body lotion into it slowly 2-3xs a day...that encourages blood flow into the region and helps it to heal...but like every one here said...time is your best friend on this...mine split or infect and then heal on their own but take two yrs to fade to white.
Start being too busy enjoying life to worry about it and before you know it they will be healed.

I use Vitamin E oil on mine everyday now and it seems to be working slowly but surely. After my first surgery, a friend of mine that is a plastic surgeon, told me that he always recommends neosporin as the best product. He also said the main thing is rubbing over the scar everyday to encourage blood flow I am sure. I followed this with my bikini line incision and it has worked great! Just a thought.
