Is there any particular type of Vitamin E oil that you used? I have bad scarring on my stomach from ezcema and I'm looking for any type (of natural) relief. Thx!Replied By Erika (Oakland, Ca) on 09/20/2011
Vitamin E is wonderful for scars! I had a bike accident and got road rash on my right arm, above the elbow. I went to urgent care to get it cleaned properly, and followed their directions for wound healing, but as SOON as it was all new skin (nothing open) I began applying Vitamin E oil. I found it in a small bottle at the expensive grocery store in the vitamin section.
I rubbed it on the new skin three to four time a day, especially after a shower or bath, and at bedtime. It's been one month since the crash and you can hardly see where the road rash was. I think it's helping with the lumpy painful bone bruise, too.
I also took a LOT of Vit C (4000-5000 mg/day) and I think that helped too.
