Methods A total of 90 patients were randomly chosen and divided into three groups. All patients with epicanthus were treated with the same internal canthus correction method by one doctor. There were 30 patients in each group: 30 cases in the control group were treated without any medication, and the postoperative incision healed naturally; 30 cases were treated with Dermatix Ultra silica gel; 30 cases were treated with asiaticoside cream. Patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) was used as the end points to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Dermatix Ultra silica gel and asiaticoside cream 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the operation. The satisfactory degree from all the patients were collected after 6 months follow-up and we compared the scores of three groups. Results Compared with the control group, the POSAS scores in Dermatix Ultra silica gel group and asiaticoside cream group were low (P 0.05). Follow-up for 6 months, the satisfaction degree of patients in Dermatix Ultra silica gel group and asiaticoside cream group was higher than in the control group (P<0.05); the satisfactory degree of patients in Dermatix Ultra silica gel group was higher than that in asiaticoside cream group (P<0.05).
