Hello, I wanted to ask about a preparation for postoperative scars (a fairly large scar on the abdomen). I got the name DMSO 99.99 % pharmaceutical grade from a friend? It can be used, if so, how is it applied? Is there anything else more effective worth recommending?

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) at a concentration of 99.99% is not commonly recommended for use on the skin, especially on fresh or large scars, due to its strong irritating effect and the ability to carry pollutants through the skin into the bloodstream.
Instead, it is worth reaching for specialized scar preparations, such as silicone gels, which have proven effectiveness in improving the appearance of scars and are safe for long-term use, e.g.:

In the case of large or difficult scars, it is also worth consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If you need more personalized advice, you can use teleconsultations here:
