Itch

My scar is barely visible too, makes me think that it would be even if you didn't use some kind of cream. It isn't the scar that is itchy, it is the flesh around it. I have used up one tube of Hydrocortisone and will use whatever else I can find that stops each.....hmmmm, I wonder how Preparation H would work...
I' ve heard that it shrinks the bags under the eyes. You can never tell what these magical potions can do.

I am a big fan of Vitamin E oil

as recommended by my Derm. PA. I was having lots of vague discomfort (not itch tho) with my Total Knee Replacement scars & Vit E oil was recommended. So I use on my PM scars too now. Can get in the "beauty" aisle as used by some for face oil. I get it at my grocery store (Fred Myers) or Walmart. Comes in spray which I like better. I just rub it on the scars at bedtime & no problems. Hope this helps your itch.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
