I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
No proven role of any intervention and application is available .
Many reports of usefulness of massage and application of olive oil, butter, lemon juice is present.
Drug lotion and oil like Luciara (Bayer) cream Coconut oil and bio oil can be used.
Some treatment like Tretinoin cream, Microdermabrasion and laser can be used after pregnancy and cessation of breast feeding.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Normal findings
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
1. Os closed means that the internal os, which is the internal opening of the cervix, is closed.
It is normally closed before labour and is a normal finding.
2. Placenta posterior means it is implanted on the posterior wall of uterus.
Low lying means it is low in the uterus, but gradually it migrates upwards with increasing gestation.
Grade1 is maturity of placenta and is normal for this gestation
These are favourable For normal delivery.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
