I took my bandages off last night in the shower and my incisions are begging for more Easter and I just want to put triple anabiotic point meant on them but I was told not to. However, on my next follow up I believe there is some ointment they sell for scar treatment. Does it really help or can I just put ointment and vitamin E on my incisions?

Answer: Ointment to incision Thanks for your inquiry, there must be a reason your doctor advised against triple Abx ointment. Please ask your surgeon's office why? As for scar creams-Biocorneum and Scarguard are examples of commercially available scar creams sold by surgeons' offices. I believe these products have the best clinical evaluation and study proving results. Good Luck.

Answer: Incision Care Hello,I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon specifically to advise you about how to treat your incisions. Typically, keeping them clean and covered with steri strips for a couple weeks is sufficient to see them well closed. Once they are well healed you may be advised to apply a scar gel. If your Plastic Surgeon has concerns about healing/infection then they may advise a topical antibiotic.All the best
