There was talk of it, but since they spanned the entire length and width of the, err, nether regions, I nixed it.

Sea buckthorn oil also known as Siberian oil or in the Original Russian (transliterated) "oo-blee-peee-kha" (This last syllable is the guttural "ch" in German). It is(was) a berry and by the colour I would guess it has a lot of Vit E. It was one of Ghengis Khan's 3 secrets of success (as wounded Mongol hordes recovered from wounds which would have killed lesser mortals)
[The other 2 were stirrups and discipline!]
I used it to great success after Russian immigrants told me about it. It is available at Natural Health type shops.

The poison oak is wierd. It is just this little three inch section on the inside of my left wrist. I have no idea how I got it just there.
I've never had it before, so I googled it to get a picture.

When I had my mini-crash a couple of weeks ago my arm started to get a bit blotchy later that day and I was worried that I might have picked up some poison oak, so I went to Walgreens to buy a tube of Zanfel.
The Walgreen's store brand - they call it "Poison Ivy Wash"- has the same active ingredients as Zanfel but cost $20 instead of $40.
(Either the store-brand Zanfel worked great, or it wasn't poison oak after all, since the blotching went away quickly and it never became itchy)

Scar help
My plastic surgeon reccommends silicone based ointment/cream and scar massage. Basically, massage the silicone ointment in circular motions twice a day for a few minutes until the scar looks like you want. The massage helps flatten out the scar and the silicone is an amazing skin protectant. I found silicone products at Wal-Mart or CVS in a small tube that cost about $8. There are more expensive items, but what I used worked, but I cannot remember the name. It may have been new skin, but there was definitely "skin" in the name of the product. It was near Mederma and other scar treatments.
Do research and try something. I am happy with the results for my scar.
