I did the removal with a plastic surgeon who made the most "selling" promise ever to me.... And I was told to get radiation treatment after the surgery- for 3 times for it BUT GUESS WHAT--it made it worse. The original size was like a quarter size THEN after the surgery and radiation the scar became the size of half my palm.... The dr never cared to see me and couldn't do anything after a couple of months! I know he felt stupid for selling me the idea about "removing my scar on my shoulder" I was 18 at that time and was naive and believed every word of it!!!

Then do surgery, no cautery (something I regret I didn't do). Have him put a wound closing tape then a bioclusive tape pad over it. It looks like scar away pads but clear. Quite nice, stats on for about a week and can shower with it. They remove ditches then tape then bioclusive. I did it for three months. I wish I did longer started to get worse and raised. Not bad but regression in my opinion. But I would keep a bioclusive on for a year if I really wanted to be sure. I'm just would do Anything. But I have used scar away and thought it worked well. Probably one of the best. It came back but I'm using again and it seems to be doin stuff, possible massage with it on? Scarprin seemed to work then suck. Some of the best results I have seen were from the juice fast and I'm going to do a 2 week one. Nutrition is key. Taping is key (the longer the better). And I may try lugols iodine solution. See how that goes. Good luck. Remember be positive.
