is it d-alpha tocopherol or d-alpha tocopheryl? TocopherYl is a petroleum by product.

I have bought vitamin E oil at the cosmetic counter in Comercial.

A Dr also told us to keep it covered from the sun. May not be easy but my granddaughter had a burn on her arm and we kept a sock top on the site all summer and there is absolutely no scar.

d-alpha tocopherol is likely as good, if not better, and likely less costly. tocopheryls are petroleum by-products.

I've found that Mederma gel works much better than simply using vitamin E.

this works...make sure the vitamin E is d-alpha tocopherol, not tocopheryl, or any other variant

You may have already considered this, but if you can't find the oil in bottles, breaking open a vitamin E capsule works also. I've done this in a pinch and yes it's messier, but it's usually more economical and the vitamins may be easier to find. Get the highest concentration you can find in capsule form. Good luck & happy healing!

Had to have stitches last month for a cut on my leg.
Now I'm hoping to find vitamin E oil.
Has anyone seen it available here in Zihuatanejo?

If not, any suggestions on a local aid to ease the scarring would be appreciated.

Thank-you. Kim
