Question: Help to reduce scarring after an accident.?

Thanks so much to anyone who can help me. Sorry for any misspellings, typing with one hand since I broke my collarbone :/Health Question & Answer

I had a cancerous growth removed this summer from my face and it left a big scary hole on my cheek so I asked the dermatologist about those creams like Mederma that are supposed to reduce scarring and she said not to waste my money because they are a big rip-off! Her advice was to just use vaseline for about a week or two and I swear within 2 weeks I couldn't even see where the growth had been. Try it, it's cheap and it works!!!Health Question & Answer
Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you heal quickly.
I have a friend who was recently involved in a quad accident and fractured his hip and has some serious scarring.
As strange as it sounds, the ointment or rubs used to reduce celulite and stretch marks has done him more good than ANY other product on the market.
I'm sure there might be something out there specifically for scars though.
Good luck and all the bestHealth Question & Answer
