Hi there, I just had 4 fairly large moles
removed and I am wondering if anyone has
any suggestions on how to heal my scars
up. They are healing fine but I have
been left with some pretty big scars and
am really self conscious about them, I
will be even more once the summer comes
.
They are still in the early stages and I
have been using an ointment with vitamin e
but if you have any other tips on how to
treat them to reduce as much scarring as
possible, it would be great! Thanks!

Massage And Vitamin E!!!!!!! Posted: 11-06-03 18:56pm
Hello! Have had so many moles removed and
have little visible(battle wounds) I call
them all over me. As for making them less
noticable, apply the vitamin e oil right
from the capsule, rub it onto the scar one
direction, then the opposite, reversing
directions for about 2 minutes. Do this
daily or every other day. This will not
work on large 7" melanoma removal scars!
But it sure has helped. As for next
summer, lots of sun block, a hat and
sleeves.........The sun is what caused
these moles in the first place! Do not
worry about what you look like or who
might see the scars....You are still here
to enjoy life, and you are the same
person!!! Be yourself girl and take care
of yourself! Hope i've helped!

I have to agree with fair godmother. I
have had several removed. The larger
scars I have had for 17 years, which never
really went away. But this was quite a
while ago and the moles were very deep.
The smaller ones that I had removed more
recently fade a little each year. But I
have never tried the vitamin e. It is
probably too late for me now, so don't
wait. And make sure you use it
everyday!!
