Question about my medication!
Ok I'm using this scar medicine and it's the best one ever everyone says (DERMATIX Silicone Gel) and it says that it's self dries.
Um..when I uttedd it on and after an hour it still looks the same. What is it supposed to look like if it dies? It's clear and see through and it doesn't change at all.

Dear Dermatix user,
From the site:

... "Dermatix gel is very simple to apply and should be used twice a day:
Step 1: Dermatix gel is simple to apply and should be used twice daily
Optimal contact with the skin is important for efficacy [1]
Step 2: Clean the area to be treated with mild soap and water, pat dry
Most skin irritation due to occlusive patches occurs from maceration* or poor hygiene
*Maceration: when the skin becomes pale, moist, wrinkled and soggy, such as when a plaster has been on for too long
Step 3: Gently spread a very thin coat over the affected area
To ensure that Dermatix self-dries in 4–5 minutes
Step 4: Allow to dry for 4–5 minutes before covering with make-up
Allows for discreet scar remodelling
Step 5: Dermatix dries partially as a result of the temperature difference between the skin and the gel.
If Dermatix has not dried within 4–5 minutes, you have applied too much – remove the excess and allow the drying process to continue.
Faster drying time in warmer weather can be achieved by keeping Dermatix in the fridge before application. In cooler weather faster drying time can be achieved by a medium-to low temperature setting on a blow-dryer."
.... You should see your dermatologist who is handling your scar situation to make sure you are applying it correctly, but something that jumped out at me while researching this:
Gently spread A VERY THIN COAT over the affected area TO ENSURE that Dermatix self-dries in 4–5 minutes
... perhaps try a thinner coating? Also make sure the skin is completely clean and dry before applying dermatix
