Firstly just remember that it is still early days and the livid redness from the scars will fade with time, it now nearly 4 years since my op and everything is now back to my normal skin tone. In the meantime keep your scars out of the sun (baby total sunblock is good) and twice a day keep the scars moisturised (please check with your doc what to use as you had radiation)
Wish I could speed up time for you.
Try to remember that it really does look worse to you than it appears to the rest of the world.
Sunshine.. love and hugs
