I'm trying to prevent ugly scarring from ear surgery incision. Can you tell me if these sheets will likely adhere to baby fine hair line area (directly behind &amp; above ear)? It's a circular shape cut and I worry the sheet won't stick because the hair is...

Well I used it for my cesarean scar..so there is hair growing in that area, and it stuck just fine. I would say it would work. When I used this I also put some extra skin tape on top of the Cica gel to hold it in place, like the kind you'd use to tape gauze to a cut. Not that that's necessary, I just found it helpful. This stuff was pretty sticky on its own.

I can say I would recommend it, but having one if my wife had that problem it is one solution I would try, with teh caveate tht I would wear my good glasses (for up close work) and cut it myself with her sitting very still. It would depend on how much post you can get exposed, if it is tight in the ear, I don't think I would try it.

Hi Carole.........I have been more than happy with our sheet clips. Once on, they do a great job. No problems at all with them. :-)

I have had the scar for more than ten years, and have used this sheet for the last two-three months as recommended by my dermatologist. The sheet seems to be effective and the scar appears to be flattening, but not receeding in size. I plan to continue wearing it, 24\7, for at least a few more months.

They make smaller sheets that are only three inches long. They guide says to make sure there is an inch all the way around the scar and that you can cut to fit.

me again...see just below.... I started using them when she was around 4 months. I groom her nails just before I apply but you must be certain to not cut the quick, this could cause an infection by applying on top of a cut quick (pink exposed skin in nail)

Actually my daughter had hlighlightend hair and it was fine. There is a new product out though through the doctor. I think I left notes on it in another questions someone had. My daughter has suffered for year and now is all cleared up and they had a card from the company so it was almost free. Ask your doctor. If you cant fine it, and I will look for it in her files. Only trying to pass on helpful info as she suffered for years with her saboric dermatitis

Absolutely; just be aware that the adhesive may start to peel away from the scar strip where you cut it. If you're careful applying and removing the strip, you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck!

What I did with my last pack n play (5 years ago), was cut a small slit in the mesh by the fabric and threaded the Angelcare wires through the hole to keep it away from baby's reach. This works best if you're trying to use the pack n play as a crib. I also placed a hard surface below the mattress of the pack n play to keep the monitor steady. Didn't have any sensitivity issues with the monitor. It worked just fine. Just an idea.

I've had the same problem! I don't think it would make any difference if you treated it any less rough. I think it comes from the continual heat that makes the plastic brittle. I have had them fall off just laying in my cabinet. I bought another one and the heat on it is not enough for my hair so I am not pleased with it at all. I have long hair and the ends get curled but the rest of my hair stays straight. I liked my first one at first but after the teeth fell off It got to where I could not use it. Sorry, wish I could have been more positive and encouraging.

All edges are bound really nice. Not sure but if cut, the edges might curl or fray. I would not, in my opinion.

I had a breast and arm reduction and this is the product that was recommended by my Plastic Surgeon. I have been wearing them since my incisions healed (about 6-8 weeks now). The only thing I can tell at this point is that they seem to keep the scars soft. I am having some scaring issues so frankly, I am afraid to not use them! What I wouldn't count on is them lasting 12 weeks. Fabric fuzz sticks to them very easily and then they don't want to adhere. They tell you to rinse them but it is almost impossible to get it all off without removing the silicone. However, you may not have as much trouble in the abdomen area as I do on my arms because you aren't moving that area as much. Good Luck!

They turned out too tight around the neck unfortunately - my son was average 8 month old when I tried these. It was soooooooo unfortunate because the colors, material and velcro are excellent! Trully trully need to have a bigger opening, the velco is also so good that I also see where it would not be good for an infant because it may hurt and or makes noise to take it off. I tried using them by leaving some velcro exposed to make neck opening wider but it would scratch and redden the back of my son's neck as it rubbed. I guess if your child has a skinny neck it may work for you. I gave them away to a smaller baby...sadly. Obviously i'm still upset they didn't work out for us. Hope this helps.

I would use something else in addition. They can cause irritation if placed right next to the skin. However they are incredible at absorbing large amounts. They work perfect in an overnight diaper in addition to a couple inserts!

You should have no issues. This is a good buy especially if you're using it to add volume. It's also good enough quality to take color to it with no damage. I would suggest however to have it trimmed to look more natural. Other than that as a hair dresser myself I really like these.

I honestly don't know. The bandage would not stay on my scar. My scar is up on the inside of my elbow so I don't know if it is the constant bending that won't allow it to stick? I am going to have to find something different as these are not working on the area I need them to. And, yes I keloid too.
