In the past we had the policy of telling people not to use anything on their wound prior to it completely healing up. And even then we would tell them that massaging things into the wound in the hopes healing would progress better wasn't necessary.
However, that has changed since we became aware of hypochlorous solution (HOCL)....and specifically a hypochlorous product called ACTIVE Scar Shield. I encourage you to click on the link in the blue NavBar and read our newest educational section on Wound Care. In it you will see references to using HypoChlorous Solution as soon as possible on any wound as it is a strong antibacterial solution. In addition, the sooner a person is able to use it, the sooner the product can start working to improve the appearance of a scar.
We have also created a Hypochlorous Fast Facts sheet that is available via either of these links on the website:

We have some members testing this product now and in the coming months will be talking about how it has helped them heal.
If you have concerns, print out the Fast Facts sheet and discuss it with your doctor (who may very well have no clue about hypochlorous solution!).
