Silicone Sheets for Raised Red Scar from BCG Injection?

February 16, 2010
Asked By:kodydog in San Jose, California

Hi, I am a 36-year-old Asian male who had BCG injection when I was a child. The injection left me with a raised red scar that stretches about 3 inches long on my left arm. I am currently using Cica Care silicone gel sheets for a week now and pondering if it actually works to flatten and reduce the redness of the scar. Thanks.
