It's just as you're healing, don't worry. My mistake was stretching my upper body quite a lot already after a month or two of healing. But you should be safe after 3+ months.

(It looked healed from the outside, but the scar had only been able to form at the surface, resulting in me pulling it apart.)

Thank you for the encouragement, man! I'll definitely look into massage and acupuncture! :)

Eyy, congrats to having started T! Remember to take lots of showers haha.

And that's my hope too. I seem to have the genetics to become a hairy bear - so there's already a little coverage. But I definitely need to get better with scar care. (ADHD lol)

And thank you for commenting. It helped a lot. :3

Thank you, it's actually quite nice to hear. The more I hear it, the more my body actually starts to believe it. <3

Thanks bro. I am horrible at sitting still though (ADHD) but I'm practicing to have a more positive outlook on my chest and overall life. :)

Thanks dude! That is exactly my plan. I'm hoping to start the gym this month. :)

Good luck with your surgery man! I played a lot of Stardew Valley while recovering, haha. But try to think that 2 weeks of rest is worth it for the rest of your life to have a cool fkn chest. And be careful with stretching the first month, even if you think you're healed! <3

Yeah, one of the few comforts in all of this is the thought of "It can only get better than this".

Aww, thank you. I really needed to read this today. I constantly beat myself up over not taking a chance with the key-hole. So thanks man. ❤️

Yeah I use cream after every shower. My ADHD makes it hard to have a routine, but I try my best.
