Solutions, creams, or gels designed to treat dermal wounds, improving wound healing and preventing hypertrophic scar tissue and keloids when applied as an occlusive or semi-occlusive covering to the wounds. Scar/keloid inhibition solutions, creams, and gels are usually available in small bottles, tubes, or cans for manual application. They may be used as dressings in patients with dermal scars, typically after surgery, burns, or other wounds. Dedicated silicon gels are frequently used for these purposes.
