Silicone Gel Sheets or Liquid Gel for Keloid Scars?

August 25, 2009
Asked By:kristi8291 in CT

I have two scars on my chest that were diagnosed to be of the keloid scar family. One is the size of a tic tac and I have received cortisone injections twice in both of them. The scars are beginning to flatten more, but are still very noticable because they are darker and more raised than my skin. Which is better to use on them, silicone gel sheets or liquid gel?
