    Re: skin lotion

     unless that skin lotion has vitamin e in it. The scar tissue more than likely won't go away.

     ...It doesn't matter if it has vit. e. in it or not. It's the act of massaging.

    vitamin e, breaks up scar tissue.

    vitamin e, breaks up scar tissue. 

    And so does the act of massaging. Massaging increases blood flow in the area which leads to breakdown of scar tissue. Vitamin E would help but is by no means neccessary.

    Re: skin lotion

     Vitamin E may help in making scar tissue less but the actual act of massaging is the key.  if you just coat a scar with vitamin E it will do nothing for it.  If you massage with it ... then you will have something helpful.

    Re: skin lotion

    Vitamin E or any other oil will help keep the flesh supple and reduces friction which might cause irritation while you massage away the scar tissue.   I think lotion, therefore, will serve the same purpose unless the ears are still healing then you might consider something like emu or jojoba.
