A member asked:

Hi, i hit forehead 10 days ago and 9 stitch up, for scar in my eyebrow, which product is better ? mederma scar gel or kelo-cote silicone ? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Silicone based: Silicone based products are superior to Mederma which contains Allium, naturally occurring in onions. Studies have essentially been equivocal when looking at the effectiveness of Mederma. The effectiveness of silicone based products has been well demonstrated in research trials.
