Lower Extremity Scarring and Podiatrists

Podiatrists weigh in on lower extremity scarring and find Oleeva to be beneficial for leg and foot scarring:

Update: What Are The Best Treatments For Scars?

Scarring can have a lasting psychological effect on many patients and some previously accepted medications may have side effects or make the scarring worse.

A 1999 study revealed that in 90 percent of the study cases, using the oft-recommended topical Vitamin E to treat scarring had either no effect or made the condition worse. However, more recent therapeutic approaches have had an impact.

...While patients may initially want to see a dermatologist for scars, there are a variety of lower extremity scars that DPMs can treat as well. Gary Dockery, DPM, a Fellow of the American Society of Podiatric Dermatology, says he treats all lower extremity scars such as keloids, burn scars and hypertrophic scars. ...

For keloids and hypertrophic scars, Dr. Dockery opts for Cica-Care and Oleeva Clear. Both doctors agree that pathological keloid scars are the most difficult to treat and patients with a family history of scarring are at an increased risk. ...

Dr. Dockery has encouraging words for people with older or difficult scars, adding that “all scars appear to respond sooner or later.” He notes that even older scars or more serious scars take three to twelve months to reduce.

UPDATE!! Pectus Excavatum Pictures

WOW!! PJ and his Mom are really excited about the progress the Oleeva Fabric has made with the scarring left from the surgery! "The middle part of the scar is visibly reduced in color and texture," says PJ's Mom.

Sharon took this picture after using the Oleeva 1 week continuously. Because PJ is a busy teenage boy that is on his high school golf team and it is in the 90s daily here, we gave him 2 pieces of Oleeva. This allowed one piece to be cleansed and dry thoroughly while using the other.

Please compare the pictures and see the difference for yourself. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me! If you have questions for PJ or his Mom, I'll be glad to forward them! Visit our site www.4TKMedical.com
