I wear my spanx everyday. I have been doing some exercises & I have a bad back so I have been using my electrical nerve stimulator(E-Stem) around the area. This helps with swelling & blood flow. However, the incision on my back is still red and indented. I don't want a scar there & I am not sure what to do to help. I take coconut oil, I put this natural tamanu oil & vitamin e oil on it as well as neosporin once every other day. I am more worried about the indentation than the color.Please help!
