Any1 had stitches?How much did ur scars fade? When?...best scar treatment?..?

Question

I've always heard that Vitamin E capsules (the kind you poke and squeeze the oil out of) are the best. Does Mederma work? If I remember right it's around $40.00 plus it doesn't even contain Vit. E so I'm not sure which 1 to get. Please help! I have 10 stripes all the way down my toes!Is 1month into it pretty far along for good results? How long did it take?

Answer 1

I believe Mederma is traditionally used to "get rid" of existing scars. If you just recently had the stitches removed, vitamin E is okay. However, using topical bactrim, like polysporin, or Neosporin, will shorten healing time and reduce the likely-hood of infection and scarring. Unfortunately, it does take several weeks for your skin to completely renew itself. So use whatever product you choose consistantly.

Answer 2

I had my big toe severely cut by a treadmill gear (ouch!) about 6 years ago and had 17 stiches. Nothing really helped the scar, including Mederma. Still have the scar 6 years and multiple treatments later. Maybe it just depends on the severity or depth of the scar?

Answer 3

i had stiches in my leg when i had screws put in after a shak bite and the scar was pretty big but it has faded over time actually alot i got 60 stiches while taking vitamin e capsules if your scar is not huge it will prob go away the accident was like a year and a half ago

Answer 4

turmeric powder w little water, apply the paste on fresh skin, sooner faster heal, 2-3 weeks. Avoid sea foods and beef, wounds raises permanent. Get turmeric from any oriental grocery store. if cant find then email, i have some.

Answer 5

The doctor who does the stitches will usually tell you...and the stitches either need to be taken out or they will just disinegrate...and it takes about a month...or that's what my neighbor had...
