Q: Can you use Tegaderm over scars? (I'm speaking of small surgical incisions that are closed/healed, but I just want to protect them from clothing rubbing against them while they're still in their delicate/tender/itchy phase)
A: Tegaderm(TM) is designed to be applied directly over clean skin or wounds and to stay on until new skin covers the wound surface, or up to seven days. We recommend checking with a medical professional to determine if Tegaderm(TM) is the right product for your needs.
