How effective is silver diazinine cream at preventing scarring at incision site after stitches have been removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As far as I know: the Cream you mention PREVENTS INFECTION of the site ...in that way may diminish scarring but NO DIRECT effect on the scarring process itself! Hope this helps Dr Z
