Scar Tissue Breakdown: Update from Patient

Hi Dr. Blake,

I've been trying to break down the scar tissue in my heel fat pad and so far the best success I've had is actually from an enzyme, Serrapeptase. The large bump I have has shrunk half in size so far. 

Dr. Blake's comment: I have seen the MRI showing this patient's scar tissue in the heel area. This enzyme is taken orally and can thin the blood, so if you take meds already for blood thinning, or that can thin the blood, you may have problems. Best to review with a pharmacist. I found it at Walgreens and they have pharmacists normally at all their stores to ask. 

Walgreen's carries it. Serrapeptase

Post Operative Scar Treatment

Hi Dr. Blake :D

Here is my new email address.

If you can give me the  name of the medication I can buy at Walgreen for my ankle to help with the scar after my surgery. 

I'm trying my best to be more positive each day :D

Have a Nice Weekend to you and your family !

God Bless!!!

Mary

Regards from Joe :D

Scar Breakdown Self Help Video

This video discusses the general principles behind self mobilization or breakdown of painful or thickened scars. There has also been an explosion of products that are silicone gel based to wear over the scar. Dr Blake is most familiar with Dr Blaine's product, but must emphasize that there may be much better products on the market now. The concept of cross frictional massage first introduced by Dr Cyriax is emphasized.
