Should I remove the bandages from my incisions for good?
Mine are closed I think since there is no red tissue or open wounds just some
scars
like you have when your wound is healing. I still keep them covered with waterproof bandages as i do not want to get them wet when showering.

Scars
After having a triple bypass 8 weeks ago I am looking for a suitable moisturiser to help my
scars
be less sore and tight. Has anyone got any suggestions or experience as to what is a good choice.

Scar healing
Hi had a double bypass 5 years ago but one of my
scars
from the drains has still not healed fully. Medical people dont seem worried but it is surely not right. Anyone else have the same issues.

I'm new here
I am no stranger to
scars
and looking different as I have a long history of self-harm, including to my face. However this burning incident was very significant both physically and mentally and has changed my appearance a lot and now I get a lot of comments and stares.

Acne and life.
I’ve had horrible Acne since 15 Left awful deep
scars
Had people laugh comment and just bully me about it. I now have acne rosacea as well. It was on my back and neck too. I’m 75 this year and I was so grateful to wear face masks during covid. Too old to worry now but it still gets me down.

Anybody else? Self harm and acne
HiI have a mixture of
scars
on my lower forearms both raised and flat. This is from self harm. They are fully healed. Many years ago I massaged bio oil into the affected areas. It turned my
scars
white. I have started to get the ball rolling with skin camouflage via Email and eligibility.

Silicone Strips post surgery?
Hey all, I’m coming up to 11 weeks post OHS and have been told by a medical professional who’s a friend that silicone strips are useful on the surgery

? Has anyone got any experience in using these strips or have any tips on which ones actually work?

Prescription drug induced Fibrosis
Hi. Wondering if anyone on here has had the above diagnosis. The drug involved was Nitrofuratan. The Consultant has told me the scarring will not heal.

Conundrum Gastrin
Hi everyone, does anyone have advice when trying to increase weight when diagnosed with Intestinal Metaplasia and Hyperplasia. I have been doing some research regarding the damage that Gastrin can do when it doesn't switch off (NET's tumours) because of low stomach acid and as the Gastrin is activated

post-op incisions
Hi everyone, I had surgery (ovarian cystectomy & excision of endometriosis) on 18/02/24 One of my wounds seems to be open. I feel ‘fobbed off’ by doctors who state it will close on its own. Did anyone else’s incisions look like this? Did they heal okay? Also, my belly button scab has now fallen

Bowel preparation before surgery
Hi everyone! 💛 Just been on pre op assessment and nurse said I don’t need to do bowel preparation at home. I will have hysterectomy with bowel resection and Endo excision. Has anyone had bowel preparation at hospital just before the operation? I am quite concerned what is going on 🤷♀️

Has the Pulsed Field Ablation technique increased success rate?
Although Flecainide 50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital? I hear reports that it’s much

L Glutamine
Hi everyone, could anyone advice me on L Glutamine, I have Intestinal Metaplasia and I don't know if I should take it. I have read it supports the stomach lining but I am concerned that this would only help a 'normal stomach' and I may do more harm than good. Thanks

Tirosint
Hi, I posted earlier about Tirosint in Gel capsules possibly giving me a rash. I stopped taking them 4 weeks ago and the rash continues. Not as bad but still all down my legs and arms. My question. Can it take so long to leave the body? Or am I blaming the wrong thing for my rash? Blood tests were

hip surgery
i have damaged my right hip favoring my left “Parkinson’s” side. I have a labral tear and a cyst in addition to a rough and worn bone structure. I see a hip specialist in a couple weeks and will likely have surgery. Who here has had hip surgery on your “good” side?
