Asked By:L.J. in United Kingdom, GB

I've read about the healing benefits of manuka honey with a minimum of 10 umf to be effective for healing of wounds. Do you think it would help if I use this on my incision scar and how long to way until I do? I'm currently using micro pore tape given by my surgeon.
