Experiences with

Dermatop

Hi I have just suffered a facial laceration to the chin that required multiple stitches last week. I have been told that after 14 days I should apply dermatix silicone gel to the maturing scar daily to help minimize scaring / flatten it etc but I was also told to wear SPF 50 daily to prevent hyperpigmentation

I have had patch tests which show an allergy to fragrance mix (which seems to be in everything - though I use fragrance free products now whenever possible) and have been prescribed numerous creams that failed miserably. 1 cream that works is dermatop but that leads to red cheeks, dry nostrils and chapped

Anyway my doc gave me dermatop I think thats how its spelt but it kind of works but I cant use it everyday as instructed as it seems to be to strong and blisters my skin.so I use it every other day or every two days.
