Is bio oil effective on removing scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Bio oil may help with improving scars but the studies that have been done are very small trials involving 20 -25 patients. The results are variable. Read the label carefully to make sure your are not allergic to any components or try a small patch test . Apply a small amount on an inconspicuous area and wait for 1 -3 days to check for any sensitivity.
