Both. Although I have to be honest and say I always wonder how much scar treatments actually do vs how much is just time. That being said I did notice a difference right away in the beginning in my much smaller drain scar when using the petroleum jelly (Valseline). I stopped using anything for awhile but now that I have been using it again I am seeing a noticeable difference in the lightening of the incision. As I said, however, I am four months out so not sure how much of that would be happening on it's own. When I first started using it I just put my medical tape over it. (It doesn't stick really well but it does stay on.) But now I just do the Vaseline all by itself. It doesn't rub completely into your skin the way lotion does; it's sticky for awhile after. So I wouldn't use it with nice clothes. Good luck!

Just use Vaseline on the scar! It is working really well for me.

Oh no, I'm so sorry!

Sorry you're not felling well. You're looking great though!! Hang in there!

I went through a sweating phase as well. Luckily it only lasted a few days but it was gross. It reminded me of after I had my babies and would wake up that same way. Blech. It'll pass!
