Using Biocorneum scar cream, looking for alternatives

January 18, 2019
Asked By:sarah3160 in North Carolina, NC

I am 5.5 weeks post op BA with inframammary fold incision. I started using Biocorneum at 1 week PO per my surgeon's instruction, twice a day and incisions are healing nicely. I plan to use for 2-3 months as directed. I don't like that Biocorneum contains 4 sunscreen ingredients and has a strong sunscreen smell, as I'm using it in an area not exposed to sun. Is there a scar cream you recommend after I finish Biocorneum for ongoing use that does not have unnecessary ingredients? thank you
