Patient's question:
At one week post Cesarean section, when I was discharged, I was prescribed silicone cream to prevent hypertrophic scar formation. When can I start using it? Besides silicone cream, are there any other scar removal medications? The ones that are effective.Doctor's answer:
Topical creams for scar removal are generally used after the wound has healed. Opinion: Abdominal wounds usually scab over within seven days. It is recommended to use scar removal creams after 10 days. Additionally, the American brand Scar-X should be quite effective. Cesarean section patients can complement professional medical treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid irritating foods.
