Will Using Micropore Tape to my Scar After Applying Hydroquinone Provide UV Protection from the Sun?

September 9, 2013
Asked By:JustinJT

Two months ago I had scar revision performed on an abdominoplasty from over a year ago. I had the flank area scars and my naval redone due to hyperpigmentation. My doctor has prescribed me hydroquinone 4%. I don't go out in the sun and the scars are always under my clothing. Can I apply micropore tape over the areas after the hydroquinone has dried as a sun protector? I also have ScarAway strips that I can apply over the tape, too. SPF lotions are inconvenient when I'm getting ready for work.
