Asked By:Yolamarie in London, GB

I am 6 weeks post blathoplasty but my scars are still itchy , tight, lumpy and slightly painful. left eye especially, as it does not close fully. Can I do anything to speed up the healing process, use any scar creams, topical steroids etc? Been only using Vaseline so far and had a course of antibiotics earlier on. Please help.
