November 3, 2015
Asked By:mygirlbird in Louisville, KY

Hello Docs- I'm 3 months post op. For personal reasons I'm without a PS. 2 weeks post op the incredible incision pressure behind right ear 'let go" and incision began 2 creep down and stretch, then SORE and raised to hypertrophic scar. Now all incision lines behind ears same. Waiting for clobetasol cream from Canada (who can afford $300 USA). Should I wait til scars mature 2 seek steroid injections? Using cortisone cream and sunscreen. Please view my other question. My GP keeping eye on me.
