I would like to ask about mederma product.im a first year medical student..and could you please explain its mechanism of action and is adverse effect.

MEDERMA doesnt work: Mederma or for that matter neosporin [ on non infected wounds] doesnt work doesnt work any better than vaseline, or a&d ointment. The silicone products like kelocote , scar away , biodermis and the like are actually worth the money.
