Last week some of you were very kind to respond with ways to help my stitched cut heal. Monday I got my stitches out and I have been using vitamin E goop to keep it wet and healing. It seems to be working, though the cut was so deep it will take a few more weeks to heal. Thank you all so much for your suggestions. It is very much appreciated.

Hi beeeckie, I just saw your last discussion about your scar. if vitamin E doesn't work for you, you can try Contratubex cream made by a pharmaceutical company Zuellig Pharma if there is any in your country, its made up of Allantoin and Heparin Sodium, it is mostly used in hypertrophic and keloidal scars, movement restricting and disfiguring scars from operations, amputations, accidents. Massage it several times, and as often as you like, massaging the scar, helps keep the blood circulation in that area moving and develop new cells for it to heal faster. I use to give that to my patients here in my country to help heal the scars, reducing its visibility or even making it disappear. Supplementing it Vitamin E will make it even faster to heal. I hope this helps for you. Have a Good day! Keep on posting:)
