Funny...I never thought about the scarring and put nothing on it except whatever the doctors gave me. I did use the cream my RO prescribed. My scar just looks like a crease in the neck, I couldn't even tell people I was in a knife fight--they wouldn't believe me!!

My mother had mederma for something and gave me a tube; although, I didn't use it..I put it in the medicine cabinet and forgot about it...with everything going on I suppose scarring was the last thing on my mind.

Good luck though!
