Medline Remedy Specialized Silicone Cream, Unscented (4 fl oz), Gentle Breathable Film for All Ages, Paraben-free and Hypoallergenic Skin Care, Barrier for Dry Cracked Skin

6 Months Post Op: My Plastic Surgeon is impressed with the healing and fading of my anchor scars. I told him I keep my breast coated in this cream as much as possible. When I’m home, I don’t wear a bra and they soak in the Silocone cream under a very soft shirt. This is because when you wear a bra, the bra soaks up the cream and rubs up against the breasts. Obviously, you may not be able to do this as often. However, you CAN LIBERALLY apply the cream at night and wear a SOFT baggy top or nightgown. I apply at least twice a day. Best product I’ve purchased and use EVERYDAY for my post op BREAST SURGERY!!! I am now in comfortable cotton blend bralettes instead of the highest cotton (there are others with lower; don’t buy them) front closure bras. I don’t know what I’d do without the Medline Silocone Cream. It’s saving my recovery and truly helping me heal my scars. For anyone undergoing BREAST SURGERY, I highly recommend using this cream as soon as your surgeon gives you the green light. The 1st product I tried was a tiny tube of $$$$$ silicone gel that hurt. I waited 2 weeks to try other options because of my reaction. This was precious time wasted. I want you to go straight to using this cream. It’s soothing. It’s recommended by pediatricians for babies. None of the products my surgeon recommends are pediatrician recommended. I had a reduction, but some of you may have had a mastectomy. I don’t want those of you who have been fighting for your life in any more pain or discomfort. My surgeon told me to use silicone sheets. They’re expensive! The anchor reusable ones don’t fit well. They’re not the right size for your breasts, bc they are cookie cutter cut outs. They itch. With silicone tape you to cut the tape and it’s a whole ordeal. You can only use the tape once. It tends to peel off. And the tape isn’t comfortable. With both methods, you are only addressing your scars. Medline Silicone Cream is 12.5% silicone/ Dimethocone. The biggest commercial brand PM, which is often recommended for breast reduction scars is only 2% Dimethocone. Medline has over SIX TIMES MORE DIMETHOCONE than the famous topical scar commercial brand! Medline is $9.99 for 4 ounces. The big commercial brand PM is $14.99 for 1 ounce 😱 One night I couldn’t find my Medline. I have glycerin & checked that it was good for scars. It is! I used it & it’s great. It’s an amazing consistency for massage. I now use glycerin on my my entire breasts first. Massage the scars and then massage a big dollop of Medline on top to seal it. This is the miracle I was looking for. It integrates your scar tissue with your entire breast/area. This is pivotal for healing your fascia/connective tissue. I hope this helps others with their breast surgery. For the price of Medline I can afford to use a bottle a week. I don’t, but I can. Glycerine is dirt cheap. I paid $4 for 4 fluid ounces on Amazon. You only need a small amount. I apply a dime size amount of glycerin to each breast. I’ve had that glycerin bottle for over 3+ months & I use it for other purposes daily. I find the glycerin start to gently almost melt the scar. 1) I massage it into my entire breasts in a circular motion gently. 2) I go along my scars with my pointer finger or several fingers and massage the scars in a circular motion. Gently. 3) I use my fingers up and down across the scar to break up the scar tissue. Gently. This is a massage technique called cross fiber friction. I’m a professional massage therapist and this is how I was taught how to address scar tissue. This technique is good for any scar on the body. 4) I apply the Medline liberally. I’m now in cotton pull over bralettes, not front closure bras. They both absorb most of the cream. I massage the cream into my entire breasts in a circular motion. I do this twice a day. I also use unscented hypoallergenic lotion (Nivea - but use whatever brand you prefer) to integrate my breasts with my torso and arms. I believe this is a better solution because you are treating your entire breasts. And of you use lotion really integrating your adhesions the rest of your fascia/connective tissue. You don’t have to do all the techniques. USE the MEDLINE ALL OVER YOUR BREAST AREA. Use it LIBERALLy when you are not wearing a pretty bra that will stain. Blessings & prayers for those of you having and recovering from breast surgery. May your surgery be successful and your recovery be a breeze. I hope this helps.

Finally something that works on my dermatomyositis rash on my face. I have literally tried everything!! This stuff is amazing and in two days the rashes around my eyes and face are smooth. Also use it on my feet and hands. Photo is day two and feels amazing.

I bought this for a rash that started appearing on my feet. At first I attributed it to certain laundry soap so changed that but made no difference. I noticed the rash was especially bad when I wore those fuzzy foot warmer socks. I went through my sock drawer and donated almost all my socks and switched to bamboo socks but I still had irritation at the end of the day. So I bought cotton (minimum 90%) socks. That helped quite a bit but still had the rash to deal with. I tried several types of topical creams and it would respond but bounce right back. Then I heard about barrier creams and started searching for the best stuff. I found Medline products and carefully compared the different creams and chose this one. I started using this cream on Oct 22nd. Today, after just three days, the redness, dryness, peeling skin, and itchy bumps on the sides, tops, feet and back of the heel are fading away. No more new red itchy bumps have appeared. I love this stuff!

thick coating and less need to reapply

This cream feels a little like glue going on, but absorbs quickly. It quickly helped my dry and cracked fingers and heels heal. It's really relieving.

Love that I found this product! It's one of the only creams that helps with my hand eczema when I don't have a prescription cream!

I use this silicone cream due to some acne scarring. After about 10 days of use, my skin began looking way better. I am a couple months in and the scarring is barely visible. Additionally, I found a very surprise benefit from this cream. I have benign fibrocystic breasts, and previously the most help I had for it was taking a vitamin E pill daily (which I still do). However, when I used this stuff on my chest, after about a month I had a reduction in those fibrocysts by a significant degree and with continued use I've found it's still working and reducing further. Just not at all something I'd expect, and I wanted to share my experience!
