ABSTRACT:
Postoperative scars are treated by a method of applying a microporous paper tape to the scar running along the length of the scar. A contact medium is applied to the exposed surface of the tape and penetrates to the skin. The contact medium comprises an expressed gel from the plant Bulbine frutescens and may contain asiaticoside and panthenol. These active ingedients are contained in a pharmaceutically acceptable cream. The contact material is applied each morning and evening. The tape is replaced when it falls away from the skin normally, e.g. every seven days and the treatment is then continued. Improved scar healing results from the use of this method.
