Silicone Scar Pads Skin Reaction

It is very normal early after your surgery to have a reddish hue to your scars and it generally takes up to a year for these to mature and soften.  Silicone pads can be extremely helpful although many of my patients have had issues with them falling off or simply not adhering. 

Because of this, I tend to use a topical compound from SkinMedica which works beautifully to lighten and soften scars and I feel that my personal results with this are better than what I was achieveing previously with either silicone or simple taping.

I hope that helps!

Since immature scars are normally reddish-pink to purple in coloration (depending on the individual), scar pads will not eliminate this color, but will help your body soften and normalize the scar color more rapidly. Of course, the scar pads and your skin should be kept clean to prevent irritation and inflammation that can adversely affect your healing. What you are describing seems just fine!
