Daisy answered Tuesday May 24 2005, 4:56 am: Almost everyone I know has used almond oil. You have to wait til it isn't 'raw' anymore if you know what I mean, and then you gently massage it on about two times a day. Other than that have a look on the internet or go to a oharmacy as they might have some good ideas too. Hope this helps a little [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

Keep the area protected and soft with this, then when the area heals it will have healthier skin and the scaring will not be as bad. Follow up with mederma to help lessen anything left. I had a big birthmark removed and this is what my dermo. suggested. It worked great. Remember, a very light coating of Vasiline. Too much makes the scab too moist and it will peal.
