Bio oil for healing?

Hi guys, is bio oil good for healing of penis after circumcision? Especially for the inner foreskin, shaft, glans etc. Need some feedback because feels uncomfortable when penis rubs against clothing when it's dry and flaky.

Bio oil is as good as any mineral oil like baby oil.You can apply any fragrance free mineral or natural oil, emollient cream on to skin.

Thanks for your reply. Is coconut oil a better option?

All I want to say is bio oil is not a magic oil like it is advertised or promoted. You can use whatever you like. I do use unrefined coconut oil and emollient cream with ceramides myself. The first one is good personal lubricant too.

For scar care the better option is a silicone scar sheet/gel for first 3-6 months post-op.

did you use the scar sheets? if so, then how long after surgery did you apply it and how long has it been since - how much do you think its helped?

Yes I did use them. Silicone scar sheet is not meant to use with an open wound. Incision site should be heal first! I have no comparison, cause I used them for first 7 months post-op.

I also used coconut oil but my consultant recommended E45 cream which massages in better and keeps the area moist
