@hopeful33250, @contentandwell -- JK, I agree with Teresa -- Looking at your scars, your skin does appear to have a greater healing power as compared to other people. And perhaps this is shown in other ways and in other parts of your body, not necessarily just skin? That would be worth understanding ...
My skin, for instance, seems to have that capability as well, but I also found that my hair grows very fast; I heal very quickly; etc.. Worth exploring to see if there may be some sort of "common denominator". I think I will do some research on that. If you know of any info on the subject readily available, let me know please.
Stay well!!

@hopeful33250 @danielad I don’t know how I would know if my skin has greater resiliency than typical but I do recover from surgery more quickly than typical. I also don’t seem to have as much pain as some people. I was a real redhead (now I’m a fake strawberry blonde) and I read somewhere that redheads tolerate pain better than most people!
@mari. That’s interesting that vitamin E was recommended for the scar. That’s the same thing I was told to do when I was nursing my children. I have done nothing for any of my surgical scars. I think the Vitamin E was to help heal the cracked skin.
