I was wondering if any of your creams would help diminish a keloid scar
(from a C Section.)

Keloid scars can be completely healed and a scar from a caeserian birth is
usually narrow and long. Keloid scars can be quite massive , for example,
severe burn scars, the larger the scar the more time and treatment is
required to clear it up.
Keloid scars can be treated by covering the scar with a product that
protects the skin and enhances normal skin growth. There are products on
the market such as cicacare silicone sheets which cover the wound and are
applied daily until the keloid has healed. These are costly but can be
effective.
Treatments I would recommend are applying our facial balm
twice a day for at least a month. We have found it clears up severly damaged skin from
eczema and many other causes since it has an occlusive property which holds
moisture in the skin and protects it providing a god healing environment.
There is another product we have called Bio-Oil (not made by us but very
good results achieved by our customers)
Since you already have the facial balm I would try that first and if visible
improvement is not seen in a month, then try the Bio-Oil.
