Indications

Relief of dry skin associated with contact dermatitis, senile pruritus, atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis & related dry skin conditions. It softens and hydrates skin. It is also a mild cleanser for dry, sensitive skin. It helps reduce dryness and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Pharmacology

  • Scar creams typically have properties that reduce tension on the scar by:
  • providing moisture to soften the upper layer of the skin,
  • providing a protective barrier to retain moisture,
  • helping cells to regenerate and remodel the connective tissue below the scar.
  • Some treatments additionally protect against photodamage to the sensitive skin on the scar. To find out what’s in your scar cream of choice, have a look at the typical ingredients that provide these functions.

Dosage & Administration

Mederma Cream should be evenly applied and gently rubbed into the scar 3 times daily for 8 weeks on new scars, and 3 times daily for 3-6 months on existing scars. Also apply Mederma Cream to the scar before sun exposure. Children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor.

Side Effects

Skin irritation in people hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
