One month after
Hello, it's been a month and at this point I am just treating the resulting scar. My right side of the scar looks great it is just a fine line that looks like a crease. The left side of it however has keloided a very small bit so it looks raised. I've been correcting this with silicone tape and treating the hyperpigmentation with a series of tea tree oil and bio oil and mederma. It has helped quite a bit but I have just started using tea tree oil and I think it will get much better. It looks quite noticeable in the pictures but it's really not, it just looks like the top of my belly button. Once the hyperpigmentation goes away it'll blend in even more. At this point though I am 100% confident wearing a bikini, I am so happy! I will update again when I see improvement :)

So I got my steri strips off!! I was really excited to finally see what it looked like under there lol. Anyways I went in today and she took the strips off and then she used a cooltouch laser to help healing. I thought this was interesting because I tried to research cooltouch beforehand and all I could find was cooltouch being used for acne and NOTHING on healing or scar preventing. But I figure if it's good for acne it might do something for me and it was free anyway! Overal I am happy with it and glad I have done this. There is a pink whiteish area surrounding this little dot of blood which is where my PS had cut out more of my skin so that needs more time to heal. However I am already happy with it because I feel it's already better than my old awkward scar and am excited about finally feeling good in a bikini!! I was told by the nurse that silicone strips may help and I may do that. I will update in probably a few weeks since there will be nothing new, the rest is just letting my body heal this!!! :-)

steri strips come off this friday, i've been a little worried because my wound hurts more than it did before I got stitches out. I wonder if this is normal, I can't see under the steri strips so I hope it's not infection or maybe opened because I have been moving a lot. I'll update this again see how it goes friday
