Post op redness
Tried to have a look through threads so I apologise if the question has already been asked before .
I'm now 5 months post op . and still have some pinkness in the recipient area, heres my problem , i'm off on holiday to las vegas in September and would very much like the pinkness to have gone really.
I shave my hair short you see , basically a 0 grade still ..
So my point is , is there any ointments, creams oils ect that can help bring the colour back to normal ?
Thanks in advance
Scott.

Aloe Vera - I am 6 weeks post op myself and I have hardly any redness. I used AV religiously tho as I knew from previous posters it was essential.
Give it a try - twice a day.

In a pinch, you can use a liquid makeup available at shops like Sally's. IMO one of the better concealers is Nanogen. That may help. I do agree with the Aloe Vera suggestion.

What kind of aloe vera is to be used? and how thick do you apply it?
Thanks, FTL

Personally, I would buy Aloe vera gel from a reputable health food store. Get the pure stuff. My 18 year old daughter used to work at Natural Foods Warehouse in Alpharetta, GA. The owners have a very high standard regarding the products they sell.

Aloe Vera is a viable option sometimes.
If the redness persists, contact your doctor who can write a script for a topical steroid cream.
That can do the trick when over-the-counter products do not work.
