Bivacyn and rashes

Gary Miller61 said:How does Octenisept actually work? I used it on a cut once and was honestly surprised by how much it didn't sting. Most other disinfectants, like rubbing alcohol, usually burn like crazy.

Alright, so I’ve officially reached the next stage of recovery 🙂
The nurse just took my stitches out today, and she suggested I pick up some kind of scar cream.
It’s not like it’s a massive scar or anything, but, honestly, having learned my lesson after using Neosporin before, I wanted to reach out and ask—is there a specific ointment you guys would recommend? And... do I even really need to bother with a cream at all?

Once the wound is completely dry and you're trying to make sure the scar doesn't get too thick or raised, you can try using Bepanthen cream twice a day and Mederma gel twice a day, alternating between them...
Just give both of them a gentle massage right into the scar tissue 👍
They should run about $50...

If you want to go the premium route, there's Dermatix silicone gel... which is roughly $100

$50 what would you suggest for a scar about 1 cm long? 😕

You can always just sit back and wait for the scar to heal on its own...
and then you'll finally see what you're dealing with... whether it fades away... or turns into a thick, raised bump...
but honestly, it’s much easier to manage if you start treating it while it's still fresh, rather than waiting a few years until it's old news...👍

Honestly, I’m on the same page—I don't think any of that stuff is actually necessary. Your body has its own built-in healing process, and it’ll do its thing the best way it knows how. Unless you're looking for a psychological boost, scar creams and all those other products almost certainly won't do anything else... though they definitely have one guaranteed effect, which is making it way easier to deal with the discomfort when you're trying to get comfortable in bed at night.

In the end, I didn't actually end up using any kind of cream. Since the scar is on my back, I can't even see it myself, 🙂 so honestly, it doesn't really bother me

For a scar like that, you don't even need to go out and buy special treatments if everything stays dry... just make sure you keep it covered from the sun this summer and you'll be fine...
