The silicone stuff is for troublesome keloid scars in particular I think?
My mother got prescribed some after two years of a troublesome lumpy, itchy scar after heart surgery.
after applying it a maximum of a handful of times, it has suddenly dissappeared. I dont think it could be the ointment (but who knows?). The things which occurred during the 3 weeks in which it dissappeared was travelling to a warmish country for 2 weeks. (not sun exposure though) and receiving a very large blood transfusion.
It was probably something to do with the blood, nothing else seems logical. But you never know. We tried all sorts over the past couple years, including manuka honey and rose cream which the surgeon actually recommended (I kid you not) which never had a noticeable effect.
