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
up and down the sides if my legs. Not lines, like free formed

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.

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.

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.

Just a touch away: CT-optimal touch perception and its influence on pain and itch
Psychologist Larissa Meijer has discovered that gentle caresses from a partner can provide relief from chronic pain. This treatment has no side effects and can be done at home. It should normally be free too 🙂 Meijer has demonstrated the effect of light stroking on pain and itchiness in Parkinson's

Hi, I’ve posted on here a few times about large areas of calcinosis ( I have diffuse systemic sclerosis) but as it’s a rare side of dSSc I have had very little response regarding others having this . My consultant did say mine (large deposits ) was very bad and hadn’t seen it as bad before which is

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
