Vitamin E - Scarring?

Ingestion - with lipids/food.

I can not find any studies showing that vitamin E may have a preventative
effect against the formation of scar tissue. Any help?

What makes you think you should find such studies? The randomized trials
I've seen don't show a benefit.

I can't give you a study, but I can tell you that it appears to help
with my recent hernia surgery. I feel tugs from stretching and such.
But when I apply the Vitamin E it seems to remove the tug feeling and
slight discomfort.

Visually it looks better, too, with regular use. I also take 2,000
IU's internally which is quite a lot.

I was told many years ago that scarring is far more likely to occur if
the cut/incision isn't clean. But the 'E' seems to be speeding it up
too.
