What will happen if i put diaper rash cream on my tummy tuck scar its been 3 weeks after my surgery and all the adhesive stuff is burning and irritating my tuck and skin around it im just air drying it but i want to help my healing process
Answer: Diaper Rash Cream on Abdominoplasty Incision Thank you for question! When it comes to all post operative care, I recommend consulting with your Plastic Surgeon. Your surgeon should provide you with the appropriate steps to soothe irritation that you are experiencing with your incision. In addition, I recommend using a Silicone Scar gel to aid with the healing of your abdominoplasty incision.

Answer: Diaper rash cream on abdomen post TT One word answer = "no" I would recommend you followup with your surgeon to check and see the best topical application. You should not need much dressing weeks out from surgery, so you may be able to modify your treatment of the surgical site. Best of luck!

Answer: What will happen if I put diaper rash cream on my tummy tuck scar? No particular scar treatment is better than another. One treatment (silicone sheets) may be helpful for one patient while another treatment (Mederma) may help another patient. If the itching is related to an allergic reaction to the adhesive as you infer, your PS should be consulted for removal instructions.

Answer: Diaper rash cream Hi, thank you for your question. Using diaper rash cream on your incision will not hurt it, per se, but you should follow up with your plastic surgeon for evaluation. They can recommend a product to remove the residual adhesive and treat the actual cause of you discomfort.

Answer: What will happen if I put diaper rash cream on my tummy tuck scar? Your best course of action is to consult with your board certified plastic surgeon directly, as each surgeon has his/her own protocols and would be the best resource of information regarding post-op management.
