Question 1

can i use contractubex instead of mederma or any other product bec. i think mederma is not available in my country... ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many products vitamin e cocoa butter steroid creams etc can be used but time is the best after two years many scars reach maximal improvement.

Question 2

does dupuytren's contacture always progress to the point where surgery is required?

Accepted Answer

No: Dupuytren's very often requires no treatment if it is mild. There is also an injection available that is very effective in mild to moderate cases.

Question 3

does contratubex gel good to make acne marks fadeaway ?

Accepted Answer

Worthless junk: This is a mix of allantoin (the major component of bird droppings), onion, and heparin. Acne marks fade only with time. A depigmenting agent may remove the brown but you're more likely just to make a mess. Nothing you can do on your own helps the scars. I'm sorry you ended up like this. Topical benzoyl peroxide and perhaps a prescription-strength Rx may be your best friends if you've still got it.

Question 4

when i use ''contractubex gel'' on my face scar ....... it makes me itch my scar hardly ! why ? what shall i do now !?

Accepted Answer

Stop use: If topical irritates your skin, stop use and contact your dermatologist.

Question 5

i have some itching on my skin when useing (contractubex gel) on a scar on my face.... it is annoying me ? is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

Scar Tissue: You most likely have what is called an irritant dermatitis cause by the topical medication. Try mederma or kelocote which are both used to help reduce scar tissue.

Question 6

hi, my baby hit your forehead and 6 stitch up, for scar which product must we use? which is the best? contractubex or ? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Scar prevention: "Mederma advanced scar gel is is also helpful and if you expect to be in the sun use the "Mederma" with spf protection and always apply sunscreen.

Question 7

is it ok if i use 2 different scar product? mederma at day time and silicone sheet(or maybe contractubex) at night? my scar is very new from surgery

Accepted Answer

Silicone best: Absolutely. Silicone gel products work much better than mederma in my opinion and are just as easy to use. If you can't use the silicone sheets 24/7 then use a silicone gel product during the day and silicone sheets at night.

Question 8

sir i have 20 yrs old scar on my face. i have used contractubex for 5 months but i noticed no result. can i use hexilak gel for removing the scar completely?

Accepted Answer

No: No treatment will remove scar completely. Best hope is less prominent. For best results, see Facial Plastic Surgeon for consultation.

Question 9

does contractubex gel works on depressed scar from scratch or i can use silgil cream on it ( this is for 4 year old boy ) ?

Accepted Answer

Contratubex first: Contratubex antiinflammatory and moisturizing properties should benefit scar remodeling over time, ameliorate and blend appearance, and hopefully keep scar from entering a hypertrophic stage.  That said, silicone creams/tapes/films work indirectly by inducing a relative hypoxemia/collagenolysis thereby softening  a hypertrophic scar over time. Both require consistent, long term application.

Question 10

is contractubex effective in treating acne scars?

Accepted Answer

I bet not: This is a concoction of onion extract (!), allanoin and heparin. I'm really sorry that somebody neglected your acne and you ended up with scars. I'm not aware of any reason to think that these three basically inert substances will help. A study of post-op patients is improperly controlled.A plastic surgeon or dermatologist can use a filler, microsurgery or laser to make your scars less conspicuous
