Facial graze used solugel and covered with bandaid for 5 days.wound is now healed flat and pink.how long to continue above?do you rec silicone gel?

Silicone gel is: best for thickened scars. If skin is flat pink and surface is healed, I would use sunscreen and possibly growth factors to reduce redness. If lesion still visible in 2 weeks, consider laser treatment. Hope that helps
