Keloid and silicone sheet

2020-08-09 07:31:06
I have abdominal keloid and have been using silicone sheet since the  month of June. I can see fair result till now, but I doubt I am using it in wrong way. I always take it off before bath, and then wear it again. The sheet loses its adhesive stickiness after one week and also the edges  get rolled. How long generally silicone sheet last and is it washable ? Any suggestion to make it more durable..

Using a pressure garment along with silicone sheet will make it last longer. It is advisable to visit your treating doctor for the same.

visit a plastic surgeon in your city or have a teleconsultation with one
