ruggedscout91, you using anything? My scar (vertical, about 8 inches) was itching like crazy from the Contractubex—it was driving me insane. Then I switched over to Contrakal cream, and honestly, that worked wonders.
As for the beach—there's no way I'm hiding under a cover-up. I'm definitely going in a two-piece. No chance I'm letting a scar dictate what I wear.
It’s about $90—not that I can say if it actually works, since I don't have any other products to compare it against 😁. That’s exactly why I was asking how long the application needs to last. I don't want to deal with someone telling me five years from now, "Well, if you had just kept applying it for six months, you would've seen results," or some other nonsense.
No problem at all... glad to hear you're seeing some improvement 🙂
Right now I’m using my second tube of Contrakel. I started out with something from Aven, then tried Contractubex—but that stuff made my scar itch like crazy... so the pharmacist recommended what I'm using now.
It’s red, though definitely paler than it was right after the surgery. I’m dealing with a vertical incision on my abdomen—about 21 inches long🙂 plus three drain sites.
I also have four incisions and a drain from a laparoscopic procedure about four months ago (nearly five now), and those are actually looking pretty faded.
It’s been four months since my surgery—depending on how busy I am during the day, I’m applying treatment to the scar about four to six times. Now, I'm wondering exactly how much longer I should stick to this routine? Maybe someone else can weigh in on the topic 😁.

It'll pull itself together. Calm down—what exactly did you expect after having your thyroid removed? It just takes time (several months, maybe even longer), and then things will be fine 🙂.
The divots will fill in. It takes a bit of time, but it’ll turn out fine. I totally panicked when I first saw my own indentations—they looked like deep potholes after surgery—but fast forward two months and they've filled in 🙂 basically leveled out 😁.
46 is practically my smallest size. I still remember the first time I walked in there—the sales clerk just looked me up and down and said, "We don't have anything small enough for you" 😍. I was rocking a size 12 back then, haha 😁.
I’ve been shopping exclusively at Maxima's for years now—honestly, I’ve only managed to ruin a single item, and even then, it took three or four solid years of wear. Sometimes I get lucky and all the stains just vanish—so I just toss it back in the wash.
Unfortunately, baby powder does absolutely nothing for me 😢—maybe for half an hour tops, but if I spend the whole day outside in a skirt, I’m coming home with chafing. That’s why in the summer, if I’m feeling a skirt, I just throw some bike shorts underneath 🥳.
Ha, who knows... > I’m looking at this latest batch I picked up, and everything is an 85D. Looking back at some older ones, they were all 85D too... then there's this one ancient thing from my memory that I'm certain was a 90A, but the tag is so faded I can't even make out what it says. 😁
I'm on the pill—pregnancy isn't even an option 😱... so, I’ve finished eight pills after my week off, which puts me at day 20 of my cycle. I'm basically just waiting for my period to hit—and that's why my abdomen is hurting. It never used to hurt like this. Now I'm just confused again. 😲
Should I see a GP... or should I go ahead and schedule an appointment with my OB-GYN?
They hit full size about a year after puberty kicked in—basically been the same size since 1998 😁. I’m 23 😉. My bra size is an 85D or a 38A... and no, I don't do anything high-impact or bouncy :/
I’m hurting here :/ .. For about a week now, it feels like I’m covered in bruises—tender, sore to the touch, and I have zero clue why :/ .. It seems like the left side is hitting me a bit harder than the right.
Nobody laid a hand on me, I haven't bumped into anything, and I’m not even due for my period.. it just hurts :/ .. At first, I thought maybe it was because I sleep on my stomach, but I’ve always slept that way—it would be weird for it to suddenly feel like I'm being crushed out of nowhere.
