| Besides sunscreen, is there anything you have found effective in minimizing scarring? The scar is very recent. |

| After injury and before healed injury : bacitracin. After healing - suntan lotion for one injury. |

| CVS sells some sort of scar reducing tape. The plastic surgeon who did my reconstructive surgery recommended it. It is heavier than tape, though. More like plastic with tape on one side. I'll see if I can find it. |

| Vitamin E oil is supposed to be good. |

Are you thinking of silicone patches to reduce scarring? CVS has quite a few different scar reducing products. |

| By far vitamin E oil. But you have to use it at night and use sunscreen during the day. |
