How to use CICA-CARE

1. Wash your hands before and after dealing with your scar. Gently clean the scar and surrounding tissue with mild soap, and rinse with warm water.
2. Cut the CICA-CARE to fit your scar, allowing a small overlap on the surrounding skin.
3. Peel off the backing sheet and, without stretching it, apply the adhesive side to your scar. If necessary, use a light crepe bandage or tape to keep your CICA-CARE in place.
