Hi. I found Bio-oil worked really well on my scars. Hope you're feeling ok xxx

Hi, I used Bio-oil too, although I think it tells you not to put it on until the wound has healed and your stitches have dissolved (if you have any). One of my wounds got infected and I think it was because I was too impatient and put bio-oil on too soon! Hope it helps you anyways :-)

No worries :-). I hated waiting for stitches to dissolve, they get so itchy!
