Jan 20, 2004 · I started using Mederma this past weekend (January 16, 2004) and I was 16 plus weeks. I can feel it .. it seems to make the area more sensitive. But it also seems to be making a difference. But I certainly would not have tried it too soon based on how it makes my incision feel today. I am looking forward to great results from it.

Feb 13, 2005 · I used Mederma on a scar I have on my neck. I don't think it really helped that much, but I do know that a lot of people swear by it. I haven't tried the Scarguard. I did use scar tape on my hyster scar, there are a couple of different brands, but I …

May 26, 2002 · On the Mederma (which I've seen other people praise) it says not to use on an open wound, & while my incision still looked really red, I was scared to use it yet. Parts of my incision are still really red, but I'm trying it now. I was really concerned about getting an infection if I used anything on it prior to now.

Jul 25, 2008 · Thank you for the suggestion of the Mederma. I better write it down now before I forget the name of it.!! If the shelf is a raised incision, mine is not too bad but looks angry red, once in a will feels angry red. No, there is no infection; just my "shelf of abdomen" rubbing on top of it every day I sit. hahahaha! I wish you all a good week!
