The present invention relates to compositions, methods and kits for improving the size and appearance of a healed wound or scar. The composition includes a therapeutically effective amount of at least one cyclooxygenase inhibitor, NF-kB inhibitor, or an antiirritant. For topical, transdermal administration, the cyclooxygenase inhibitor or NF-kB inhibitor may be present in a thermal insulating material such as a hydrogel. The thermal insulating material may also include a deodorant agent to reduce surface bacteria and odor formation. |
