Why Does my Mohs Surgeon Not Like Topical Scar Treatments Near Eyes?

There is pretty limited evidence that topical treatments make much of a difference in scars. The exception is hypertrophic scars - red raised lumpy scars. In that case, a product with steroids and silicone gel can help. Fortunately, those scars usually don't occur near the eyes. Plus, topical steroids can be dangerous on the thin eyelid skin.
