Brief Summary:
Hypertrophic or keloid scars develop for about 39 to 68 of patients after surgery The subjective opinion of the patient regarding the scar will often constitute the standard for judging the success or failure of the procedure Surgical scars are not only a cosmetic concern but they can also cause pain itching discomfort contracture and other functional impairment Various treatment options exists for treating hypertrophic scars and keloids including intralesional steroid injection dermabrasion pressure therapy surgical excision radiotherapy cryotherapy pulse dye and carbon dioxide laser ablation However these treatments often require multiple visits and have limited success Therefore prevention and early recognition of hypertrophic scars and keloids are very important in their management
Among preventive treatments available silicone gel and onion extract gel have been marketed as products to improve the appearance and texture of surgical scars Despite its popularity data demonstrating the efficacy of these gels are lacking Furthermore there is no comparative study of silicone gel and onion extract gel for preventing postsurgical hypertrophic or keloid scars The investigators therefore conducted this randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of silicone gel and onion extract gel for the prevention of postsurgical hypertrophic scars The investigators also compared patient compliance and side effect between two topical gels
