Does Duofilm Help In Removal Of Surgery Scars?

I have 2 scars on my chest from incisions made to cut out cysts I had under my skin. It s been a few months since and the stitches are out and it s healed leaving a thick pink scar each about the size of the point of my index finger. My father gave me Duofilm and suggested it may help with other cysts I may have (a couple of small ones on chest) and possible with the scar. Can Duofilm be helpful in that way?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Duofilm is a keratolytic agent it will not help with surgical scar. Scar will resolve slowly over years. You can also consider LASER treatment also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
