Based on the MD responses to questions about non-surgial scar treatment, it seems that there is some consensus that silicone sheeting and sunblock are reccomended. Is it best to apply sunblock to the scar and then put on the silicone sheeting? Or would the presence of sunblock on the skin interfere with the mechanism of action of the silicone? If so, could you apply sunblock to the outside surface of the silicone sheeting?
