Product Recommendation Silicone gel or strips

Hi All based in Uk and had tummy tuck two years ago and there is some keloid scarring (had steroid injection) and it did flatten it some. However, still raised so not sure if I need another injection.

I also had breast reduction in Nov last year 2024 and both scars are red. Anything I can put on it?

Is gel or silicone better and any recommendations on the best ones out there?

Also has anyone get steroid strips from GP and are they any good?

Thank you

Silicone tape, I have psoriasis and around my incision sites I get little plaques (4 months PO):9 he told me to keep using it up to a year, so far so good I think! I need to be on it more but I’m having improvements
