The Silicone Pad Tape can be applied to a closed keloid scar (a raised scar left after a wound has healed that is caused by excess scar tissue and can cause itchiness and discomfort) or hypertrophic (thick) scar.4 For example, they can be used on scrapes, cuts, minor burns, pressure sores, and surgical scars. They shouldn’t ever be used on broken skin, infected skin, or open wounds.
