I've been asked about my scar care regimen, so to clarify, I did no scar care beyond the initial Kelocote and cocoa butter for the first few months, keeping the scars out of the sun for a full year, and applying sunscreen religiously to them every time I do go out in the sun. And my body does not scar well. The healing and results you see are just the result of time and general looking after my health. And, of course, my excellent surgeon.

I've continued applying lotion to my scars daily because it's helping to soften them a bit, although it's not reducing the hyperpigmentation at all. I ran out of the AHA lotion I was using at 12-13 years and switched to cocoa butter.
