Hi, I have multiple scars and I would always complain about doing scar massage... I don't know if it's that it hurts or that it's just uncomfortable. To me it's kind of both. After you get the surgery your in pain, so you keep in your mind that "Oh, it's gonna hurt if I touch it." And I think it's more of the fear that it MIGHT hurt. I hated scar massage when I was young, and I'm almost 17 now and I still hate it, because of the fact that it might hurt.

They sell these in drugstores by the band aids.Just last month I had a c-section and the doctor there recommended it as well for scar management...along with gently massaging it with mederma or coco butter.Hope this helps
Is there a certain brand of silicon patch that you used? I was at Walmart looking into it and they seemed to have 2 kinds and they both cost $20. That is little much to waste if I pick out a brand that is not so good and waste!
