Okay to remove/replace steri strips (for scar tension) 2x/day to reapply silicone gel? Micropore won't stick to nose (Photo)

July 9, 2021
Asked By:TMomOf2 in Los Angeles, California

Our 2.5 yo daughter landed herself in the ER a couple of weeks ago for a nasal laceration. The wound is closed up now, and we'd like to use something to relieve tension on the scar. Embrace won't work because of its location (and it's actually "L" shaped - and also her nose is tiny), micropore won't stay on well because of the contours of her nose. We were given steri strips for this purpose, but we wanted to be able to remove them frequently to reapply the silicone gel. What do you suggest?
