Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel (10 g) is mainly used for acne, burn, surgical, and injury scars, but it is not effective for keloids, which are thick, raised scars that grow beyond the wound; keloids usually need medical treatments such as silicone gel sheets, corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, or cryotherapy, so it’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper management.

Yes, you may use Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel on chickenpox scars, but the results depend on the scars’ age and depth. This gel contains ingredients such as Allium Cepa extract, allantoin, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate, which help soften the skin and gradually improve the colour and texture of scars over time. It may work better on newer or mild scars, while deeper pitted scars from chickenpox may show limited improvement. You should apply it regularly on clean skin for at least 8 to 12 weeks, or longer, to notice changes. Always do a patch test first to check for any irritation. Protecting your face from sunlight is also important, as it helps prevent darkening of scars. If scars are severe, a dermatologist may recommend procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy for better results.

A long-standing spot on the face is often due to leftover pigmentation or a mild skin condition that takes time to fade. Keep your skin clean with a gentle face wash, use a light, non-oily moisturiser to keep the skin barrier healthy, and protect your face from sunlight with regular sunscreen, as sun exposure can darken the spot. Avoid picking or rubbing the area, as this can delay healing, and maintain a simple routine with good hydration and balanced meals to support skin repair. If the spot changes in size, colour, or texture, it needs attention. Consult a doctor for appropriate treatment to further improve it.

A deep cut on the wrist usually leaves a scar, and the skin may not fully return to its original appearance because deeper tissue layers are affected. However, scars often fade and improve with proper care over time. Applying scar-reducing creams or gels like Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel, keeping the area moisturised, and protecting it from sun exposure can help improve its appearance. If the scar is large or bothersome, a dermatologist may recommend more advanced treatments, such as laser therapy or medical procedures.

Yes, you can use Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel for burn scars, but only after the burn has fully healed. The skin should be completely closed and dry, with no open wounds or blisters. The gel is generally most effective on scars that are at least 2–3 weeks old. For older scars, it may still help improve their appearance over time, though results can vary and may take several weeks. It’s best to check with your treating doctor, as they can advise you on the right way to use the gel based on your specific condition. Always follow the product instructions, and if the burn is severe or you’re unsure, consult your doctor before using it.

You can apply Mederma to your forehead scars, but since they are very old (from childhood), the cream may not make a significant difference, as such products usually work better on newer scars. It is generally safe to try, though it can sometimes cause mild irritation. For older scars, treatments such as laser therapy, microneedling, or other dermatologist procedures are usually more effective, so it’s best to consult a skin specialist if you want noticeable improvement.

Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel can help improve the appearance of scars, even older ones like yours. Since your scar is 9 months old, it may help lighten the brown colour and smooth the texture, but it might not completely remove it. The results can vary from person to person, depending on factors like other medical conditions, diet, and lifestyle. You'll need to use it regularly for a few months to see changes. If you don't see much improvement, it's better to consult a dermatologist who can recommend other treatments tailored to your skin's needs.

Yes, Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel can be used to treat acne scars, as well as scars resulting from injuries, burns, surgery, and cuts. However, individual results may vary depending on the condition. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalised treatment.

Yes, Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel can help heal scars due to cut marks, but only after the wound has healed completely. If the cut is still fresh, open, or bleeding, do not use Mederma yet, as it can irritate the skin.
