Re: scars
I had my appointment with the nurse after 13 days to have my sitches removed. After that I could shower as normal (couldn't have a bath or go swimming for 6 weeks) I didn't have anything on my scars at all. I put nothing on them, patted them dry after a shower with a clean towel and put a clean sports bra on after each daily shower. At 6 weeks I massaged the scar with bio oil. Mine have healed brilliantly. Your nurse did say when they were dry not to put anything on them so I wouldn't worry.
Re: scars
Same here. As soon as the steri strips came off in the shower I didn't put anything on. I was advised to use rosehip oil but a lot of surgeons say don't use anything till 6 weeks.
