Bio-Oil

[mcmich]

I like bio oil and just buy it from coles or woolies. There is an alternate brand (the name just doesn't come to mind) that is slightly cheaper and does the same job. I only use as a moisturiser though and not for scars etc.

Doris Day only ever used vaseline on her skin.

Hi Amy
I suffer from keloid scarring so when I had surgery two years ago the plastic surgeon advised silicone gel bandages.
I wore these six weeks after surgery (I think it was six) all day and night for about 8 weeks (can't remember exactly)
The scarring is still there but not as bad as my other scars.  These scars did not go red and swell up like the others and even today the scars are not too visible.
I purchased my bandages online. (not cheap)
Apparently these bandages are used on burns with great results.
Good luck

This is promoted and sold for helping heal scars in Uk.
It is expensive but it is given good write ups. I have not used it.

Would Amy know of Doris Day Michele 

Nope I was just asking who she was when you posted Judy!!

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think I'll look into these things further (and get some sunshine ) before I go spending that much money on the Bio-Oil

It's amazing what some teenagers like, depends what they have been exposed to. DD watched old movies with us - "Please don't eat the Daisies" and "With 6 you get Eggroll" are amoungst her favourites.

Its just because I don't watch many movies DFM. I love old music like Queen, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Supertramp and Elton John. And I love old family time games like scrabble and snakes and ladders
But I'm just not a TV person

Board games are great fun Amy.

We all love board games, we often have family board game time.

This is Doris Day. You probably know the song Que Sera Sera (what ever, will be. will be).

Bio Oil is great for scars.

My DS had success with Bio Oil on a large scar on his arm but we started using it as soon as possible after surgery on advice from his surgeon. You only need a tiny amount so the small bottle lasts quite a while.

Do you have a chemist warehouse in WA?  If so, they usually have bio oil on sale quite regularly or 2 for 1 deals.  A little bit goes a long way.

I used bio-oil on the advice of my DD's FIL who is a natura path after I was burned on my face and chest trying to get bolognaise sauce that I had been reheating, from microwave which was above my head height. I had to wear compression bandages and was told my chest area would be badly scarred. I used the oil faithfully and absolutely no scarring at all. The sauce went right down into my bra and on one side of my face. Ouch!!!! That was almost 7 years ago and i now have microwave at bench level. I would highly recommend this oil as even my doctor was amazed that I had no scarring.
