    I put baby lotion on mine until the 6 weeks were up which made it feel easier, but after that I used bio oil  or a less expensive version of it, which I lam still using now.  The wound is fading slightly but it will be some time yet before it disappears into a fine white line.  Patience and perseverance are the two important words in this instance!
