Has anyone used a cream that has worked in getting rid of your scars?

The NP told me that whatever I used would be more effective if I massaged the scars for ten minutes while rubbing in the cream. She said cocoa butter was as effective as mederma. I haven't started it yet so no first hand experience.

I always forget about cocoa butter! I think I will try that and do the massaging with it! Only my boyfriend and mom know that I got it done so I want scars gone so no one asks what it's from!! Thank you!

I've also heard before about rubbing scars to break up the tissue and I tend to forget about it. Great advice!Thank you!

I haven;t used anything on my scars and they have faded considerably after two years. Honestly, these scars are better than the stretch marks that I have in terms of fading :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
