Anyone used Emu oil for scarring and pain relief?

Hi Ladies

Been reading a bit about emu oil and wonder if it would be OK to use it on my 10 day old scar. I had lumpectomy and sentinel node removal and both scars look quite bumpy and rope like. Should I wait until I see my surgeon this Friday or is it good to start asap? I’m finding that pain in my boob has become worse at day 10, nerves waking up perhaps, and as I have large boobs (H cup!) I have to wear a bra all the time or the weight pulls down on the scar. Otherwise I am walking around with hand supporting boob, not a very enticing look!! Gentle hugs to everyone in this club, the one no one teally wants to join but which is full of lovely people ???

Hi

I definitely wouldn’t use it on my scar - I used it on the arm where I had lymph nodes removed as it helped nerve pain, but think it would be a bit strong for scar areas.

It is pretty normal for the scars to go through lots of changes and take time to settle, and 10 days is very early.

I am about an F cup and wouldn’t go without a bra even 4 months after surgery - in the early days I wore those stretchy crop top things day and night.

I hope you feel better, and don’t forget you can always ring your bcn if you have any concerns :slight_smile:

Hi Em

Thanks for that. I’m an H cup so bra less is not an option indeed. I have now found a very comfortable soft sports one on Amazon so if any other big booby ladies would like the details. Get in touch. Francine x
