go scar cream - #14044

Sara

I am so confused right now about this whole skin thing. After I had my baby a few months ago, I noticed some stretch marks, but I also have this pretty nasty scar on my stomach from a surgery I had a few years back. My friend mentioned using go scar cream, and she swears by it for her scars, but I'm just not sure if it really works. The thing is, I've tried a few other creams before, and honestly, they did nothing. I really want to make this scar less noticeable but I keep hearing mixed reviews about go scar cream. Like, do I need to use it for a long time to see any results? And does it really work on older scars? My scar is kinda old but it's still very red and noticeable, like even in the summer, it's super frustrating. Also, can I use it while breastfeeding? I don’t wanna put anything on my skin that could hurt my baby. There’s just so much to think about, and I feel like I’m running out of time to figure this out. Is there any other advice out there on go scar cream or even alternatives I may not kno about? I've heard laser therapy is good too, but that’s like way more expensive. Just wondering what everyone thinks!

Doctors' responses

Go scar cream, like many topical treatments, often provides variable results when it comes to scar treatment — different people might see different levels of success. It’s important to set realistic expectations; these creams can potentially help to improve the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable, but complete removal is unlikely. Regarding usage, you’ll probably need patience, as benefits often become apparent only with consistent application over several weeks to months. Older scars can improve, but newer ones may respond better. Always check the specific ingredients of the cream; if you’re breastfeeding, it’s crucial to ensure that there’s nothing that could negatively impact your baby. Many ‘go scar’ creams contain ingredients such as silicone, onion extract, or vitamins which are generally considered safe, but always double-check and possibly discuss with your healthcare provider. If you may not be satisfied with the results from topical treatments, consider consulting a dermatologist about other options. Laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels might be more effective, but as you mentioned, these can be cost-prohibitive. Each method carries its own benefits and risks. Another practical alternative is silicone gel sheets or patches, as they’ve shown effectiveness in reducing scar visibility and are considered safe. Sometimes, simple solutions such as keeping the skin hydrated can help, so using a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating peptides might also complement other treatments. Remember, understanding your skin type and the characteristics of the scar can guide you to make the most informed decision.
