A member asked:

Is using vit e oil on a scar a problem for someone taking warfarin for atrial fib?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

No: But it will not help improve the scar. Keep it lubricated with whatever you have. Vaseline is as good as anything. Don't fall for the hype: that's all it is.
