Recommendations for Scar Healing and Itching Relief

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern. It sounds challenging to deal with numerous scabs and scars, especially with slow healing and itching. It's good that you found Sweet Almond Oil helpful in the initial stage.

Based on your situation and the staff's recommendation of Rose Hip Oil, here are some ingredients and products that can help with scar reduction, wound healing, and itching:

For Scar Reduction and Healing

• Rose Hip Oil (Extra Virgin): As recommended by the staff, this oil is excellent for repairing skin and helping recent scars become softer and fade. It also helps reduce skin inflammation.
• Sweet Almond Oil: You've already experienced its benefits. It helps moisturize, reduce irritation, and supports wound healing and scar reduction.
• Hi-Quercetin® (Onion Extract, Quercetin 3%): This ingredient is known for its ability to help prevent scarring (like keloids and hypertrophic scars) after a wound has closed. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties and helps restore the skin barrier. It's important to use this after the wound is completely closed to prevent new scars from forming.
• Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant): EGF helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports skin repair, which can contribute to the healing process and overall skin health in the affected areas.

For Itching Relief

• FastRelief™ 1609 (4-t-Butylcyclohexanol): This ingredient is specifically designed to quickly reduce sensations of irritation, heat, and itching on the skin.
• ActiveRelease Oat™ (Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Encapsulated): Derived from oats, this ingredient is effective at reducing both itching and redness.

For General Skin Support

• Bifida Repair Complex™ (Bifida Ferment Lysate, High Conc): This ingredient helps enhance the skin barrier function, protects against oxidative stress, and reduces inflammation, supporting overall skin recovery.
• Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%, Water-Soluble): Known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-allergic properties, Licorice Extract can help calm the skin and reduce redness and irritation associated with the healing process.

Consider incorporating these ingredients into your skincare routine, focusing on gentle formulations that support skin repair and reduce inflammation and itching. For scar treatment ingredients like Hi-Quercetin®, ensure the scabs have fallen off and the skin is closed before application.
