Face abrasions from fall on pavement. When should I apply Biocorneum?

Recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thanks for your question. I recommend starting Biocorneum after the wound has re-epithelialized. This means once the scabs are gone and the area has a fresh pink color of new skin or granulation tissue. Treatment should be twice daily and continue for at least 2-3 months to reap the full benefit. I hope this helps.
