Silicon strips

Anyone tried wearing silicon strips over their scar? Interested to hear how other people have found them. If not, have you tried anything else? Gels, oils etc.

I’m about a week into wearing them. I was recommended them by someone who used them for a different surgery, and my physio recommended them too, although she said silicon gels are also good.

I’m one week into using them and already seeing a massive difference! I keloid scar normally and it’s looking really neat and normal so far.

Yeh they make a massive difference for me x

I started using them around Christmas time, not sure how much difference it's made yet as I can't easily see my scar at the moment but hopefully it's working The other reason I've been using them is to cover over my scar to protect it a bit as it's so itchy! This way at least I'm not scratching at the bare skin of the wound

I bought the Frida ones and they're too short to cover my whole scar, has anyone else found this? I had a very swift emergency c section so don't know if it's a bit bigger than 'normal' but if anyone has any recommendations of other sizes that would be great!

@Amy I just get the roll of silicone scar tape from Amazon ! They’re just as good x

From what week in recovery did your start using them?

@Holly from 6 weeks for me x
