Answer: Scar therapy Ask your surgeon what they recommend to help with scars. There are a variety of products available, including silicone cream that you can apply directly on your scars. It takes about a year for scars to fully mature.You should make sure to keep your scars out of the sun.

Answer: Red scar at 6 months post op
Even at 6 months you are still in the early healing phase. If your scar is itching it is usually a sign that you are still in the proliferative phase of wound healing. Benadryl at night can help with the itching and yo may want to try a silicone product over the scar to aid in healing. Good luck DR.Z
