Taking straight from WebMD

"You may have heard that applying topical vitamin E to a scar will help it heal
faster. But according to a study from researchers at the University of Miami, applying the nutrient directly onto a scar can actually hinder its healing. In the study, vitamin E had no effect (or made matters worse) for 90% of the patients, and 33% who used topical vitamin E developed a contact dermatitis."

I've always had good results using Natural Vitamin E on wounds, sunburn, etc. I can just speak from personal experience.

I've read an article on webmd, and instead of E, they recommend a petroleum based ointment (likely one that needs a prescription). Well, if you Google petroleum dangers, I think you would choose the E also.

Can't trust anything anymore!

Wonder who paid for study?

I don't trust WebMD. They are run by big pharma in one way or another.


They either used synthetic vitamin E or very little so there would be no benefit. Either way it is BS.

I read a case history years ago concerning a woman who was searching in her cupboards above a deep fryer that was in use. Somehow she managed to accidently lower her hand into the deep fryer.

Her skin was melted together, and her hand looked like she had webbed fingers. The treatment lasted several months, and in the end her hand looked normal. Her treatment consisted of topical vitamin E.

I also know some women who have used vitamin E cream to reduce stretch marks due to pregnancy, and had very good results.

Personally for scarring issues, I would include topical colloidal silver as well.
