post op girls. bio oil, sudocrem, silicone strips or cocoa butter….

when did you start applying these to incisions can i do it now? mine are a bit raised lumpy and still a bit scabby. is sudocrem okay? its an antiseptic cream and there’s no open wound just scab? surely will help heal? any ideas/experiences appreciated xxxx

i’ve taken the plunge and put sudocrem on them will give an update on how they do in next few days! xxx

Are you putting these directly on incision? I would wait till all your scabs go Hun, best thing for them is to keep them aired 🙂 xx

yes ive put the sudocrem on the incisons they felt dry? is that normal? when will the scabs go i’m so impatient ha i won’t do it again after tonight then ha better let them dry out xxx

My pc and nurse said don’t put anything on that area at all till 6 weeks, Iv not even been using soap or shower gel on my top half incase it runs over the incision, been washing my top half with a flannel! I may just be too cautious tho 🙂 x

Hi Ele, I used to use sudocrem for my son, it works well but if the skins broken I found it can make it worse , because it’s so thick when you put it on, you normally have to wash it off and this is what seems to cause the skin more damage. Hope this helps xx

I was told E45 cream 3 weeks after my op by the nurse. And Vaseline and bio oil by the pharmacist 4 weeks after. I use them at different times of the day (bio oil at night as it takes ages to sink in and don’t want it ruining my clothes at work).
