A member asked:
Is it safe to use silicone gel/sheets or vitamin e oil for scar treatment while breastfeeding? will either help with a keloid?

Will not help keloid: Keloid is very hard to treat and needs the expertise of the dermatologist. Unlikely the above treatments will fix keloid

Safe but ineffective: While these are indeed safe to use while breastfeeding, spend the money buying a toy or cute outfit for your new baby as they will not be very effective in treating keloids. See a dermatologist for more appropriate options for your keloids.
