Skin type 2, sensitive skin, what's your recommended scar creams/tape/ointment post-op?

April 22, 2023

Hello, Surgeons. Curious to know what products you recommend to your patients to apply to their scars? Skin type II. Fair, sensitive and scars turn reddish and then darken if I don't apply anything normally. Scar areas would be lollipop lift and lipo incisions on flanks.
