Suggestions please on what to use on scars

[Bearvet]

Poor DS15 has had shingles (!) on his left arm. It looks like there will be scars and the worst spot that still has scabs looks like it will scar pretty badly. I really need suggestions on what to use to help reduce the scarring. Thanks!

When my daughter was recovering from her surgery, they told us to just use plain old Vaseline. Don't use anything with Vitamin E - it apparently impedes wound healing (who knew?).

Her scars healed up pretty well. Kids and teens generally heal better than adults, luckily!

Second vote for Mederma, but not until the scabs are completely gone.
