    What can I use to minimize skin cancer scars on face?

    So I've just had a couple if skin cancers removed by scraping, one of them on the side I my nose. Both are healing really well but I'd like to reduce the chance of scarring. What would you recommend to use on them? I normally heal very easily and don't scar but I am a bit worried with this one in the middle of my face.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Vitamin e oil is really good, I have heard from a few people. I used the cream for stretch marks & found it helped but the oil the best.

    I've been using a trilogy product, rosehip oil with antioxidants. The rosehip oil itself is very good for scars and the antioxidants give it an extra boost. It is working wonders clearing up my acne so I have no doubt it will help enormously for your scars. Make sure you really rub it in, the massaging element helps with the healing just as much as what you put on.
