What Is The Use Of Dic/lido 4/5% Pentox 3%lipo Cream?
Hi, Thank you for your time. I had a heal spur removed last August and this week found out I have scar tissue from the surgery. The Dr. prescribed dic/lido4/5% pentox3%lipo. My question is, was this cream supposed to prevent scar tissue and if not what was it for?
Hi & Welcome to HCM. The prescribed medication contains Diclofenac, Lidocaine and Pentoxifyline which is used for topical pain relief and improvement of blood flow. It is not effective in preventing the scar tissue from the surgery. For the post operative (post surgical) scar you may need intralesional steroid injections or laser therapy. Hope this will help.
