I got cleared to start scare treatment for my anchor scars from a breast lift & augmentation, I have been using Silagen two times a day, but have noticed that it leaves a filmy layer, even after showering, that doesn't come off unless I pick it off. I don't want to pick at anything near that area, so I am just leaving it for now. Does that mean that I am using too much of it, or is this part of the process? Thank you so much!

I would try to avoid your nipple if possible as it may cause some irritation. There are various methods of scar treatments and what works for one person does not for another. You can try Mederma or massage with Vitamin E oil. You can also switch up any of these treatments. If the scar remains...
Silagen scar cream is beneficial for reducing the appearance of scars. Silicone has been proven to reduce discoloration is the skin and help prevent keloiding (thickening of scars.)
I have recommended ScaRxTape for my patients for many years. It is definitely not messy like silicones with similar beneficial results and is much less costly and easy to use to support the wound after surgery or injury.
