Abstract
Scars are a displeasing side effects of any type of wound. It can vary from a atrophic hypo pigmented linear scar to a hypertrophic scar or a keloid, which can cause trouble to the patient, both symptomatically and aesthetically. There are various modalities present in the arm amentarium of managing scars. All of them modulate the biology of scar in a such a way to make it aesthetically pleasing. One such technique is a silicone gel sheet, which has been widely used in scar management. In this article, we report our unique experience with the use of silicone sheet.
