Directions
- Wash your hands before and after dealing with your scar. Gently clean the scar and surrounding tissue with mild soap, and rinse with warm water.
- Cut the CICA-CARE to fit your scar, allowing a small overlap on the surrounding skin.
- Peel off the backing sheet and, without stretching it, apply the adhesive side to your scar. If necessary, use a light crepe bandage or tape to keep your CICA-CARE in place.
