Advice about scars from surgery during pregnancy...?

I had to have my appendix removed during my pregnancy. Due to my fast growing belly the scars got pretty ugly. Does anyone have advice on a product I could use to help fade these? I'm already using vitamin E rich lotions and shea butter on them.

Thanks!

    Palmer's coco butter stretch mark cream is the best,i know because I have major scars and they itch and burn a lot.the only relief is when I get the Palmer's out and rub like crazy it helps for about 12 hours,and i,ve already seen really nice improvements on my scars.also if the discomfort gets to bad,a nice long bath helps!good luck!

    the vitamin E and shea butter definitely help to stretch the skin sensitively but all it does is help the keep your skin moisturized where your stretch marks won't be as bad. Try using pure aloe vera twice a day this will help ease the definition of the stretch marks you already have. good luck
