surgery scar removal cream - #16591

Ayush

I am really struggling with the scars I have from surgery. About 6 months ago, I had to go under the knife for a pretty serious issue, and now I can't stop thinking about these ugly scars on my abdomen. I know they’re healing, but they look really red and raised still, it’s frustrating. I have been slathering on some moisturizer, hoping it helps, but honestly I'm not seeing much difference. I heard about surgery scar removal cream and I'm wondering if that’s what I should really be looking into. Like, are there specific types that are actually effective or do they all kinda do the same thing? I’ve seen some reviews online saying they work wonders, while others say they’re a waste of money. Plus, I've got a friend who says silicone gel or patches might be an option too, but I’m not really sure. Should I just stick with surgery scar removal cream, or is it worth it to explore other options? And how soon after surgery should you start using something like that? I really don’t wanna try something that could make it worse or delay healing. Any insights would be amazing!
