Brief Summary:
Keloids and hypertrophic scars are a common subject of dermatologic consultations. Therapeutic management of such conditions remains challenging because of their high rate of recurrence and lack of curative treatment.
Detailed Description:
Silicone gel Sheeting (SGS) is one treatment modality that has proven effective for treatment of hypertrophic scar. One disadvantage of SGS is its application technique. To be effective, SGS must be applied on the scar for at least 12 hours daily. Topical silicone gel is a novel therapy that has shown promising result on scar prevention. However, the efficacy and safety of topical silicone gel for treatment of hypertrophic scar has not been confirmed.
