Re: Regeneration of Human Scar Tissue with Topical Iodine: A Preliminary Report—Part 2 David M. Derry, MD, PhD

Hello everyone,

I am new here, but I want to give some information about the topic. Someone asked, how it is possible to use a plastic wrap on the scars. I have email contact with Dr. Derry and I did ask him many,many questions concering his paper about scar regeneration. He wrote me, that every scar he is aware of regenerated completely back to normal tissue. I asked him, if the plastic warp is really necessary. He answered me, that it is not. He uses the plastic wrap to get better pictures of the scars. That's all. He said, that the regeneration process is as good as without the plastic wrap. I can post his full email answers, if somebody is interested.

In the end, I have a question to you. Did anyone use Iodine or Lugol's solution for scars? What are the results so far? I have not yet begun, but I am planning too till the end. I hope, that it will not take to much time, a year or so.

What are your feelings about this?
