My scar is looking really good- my surgeon/ENT guy couldn't believe how well it looked 3 weeks post-surgery and I put it down to the manuka honey (also regular application of aloe vera). I've been putting the honey on it every night. THe only side effect is that sometimes I wake up with ants crawling on my neck!!!! I've also been rubbing it on my tongue and gums.I highly reccomend it grin You have to make sure its the one with the high percentage of 'active' qualities (mine is 16+).

There's lots of scientific literature around the benefits of manuka honey for both wound infections and scar repair
