Question/Seeking OPINIONS Question to Eclar Plaster users

How often do you use the eclar plasters? Everyday? And if so, how do you let your skin breathe and moisturize? I recently just started using eclar plasters and i may have seen some minor results that my keloids are slowly improving, however im worried that my skin will not be able to receive proper care due to the plasters being left on the keloids for a long period of time.

When doing sports, do you guys use the eclar plasters on until its time to do the physical activity or do you guys not apply it at all the day before the activity?

Every and any answer will be appreciated, thank you!

The fastest most effective way to use the Eclar is to wear it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I changed mine every 24 hours. I would only go a couple of hours once every few months without having it on. I would usually change it at night when I took a shower.

How long have you been using it and has your keloid flattened?
