default
Posted on Wed, 7 Oct 2015
Question: Hi,

I have a hyper-topic scar on my finger joints. When I consulted a plstic surgen , he asked me to roll Actico 1" or 3" tape every night , otherwise, it would get thick and strong. I could not find it in any pharmacy and online too. Is there any alternative tape is there?
