Is "medicine" countable? There is a usage as "take some medicine", but is this word countable? Is it correct to say "This is a medicine which can heal the scar." Or I should say "This is a kind of medicine which can heal the scar." ? Thank you in advance!!

It is possible to use 'medicine' as an countable noun even though it is usually uncountable. It wouldn't be seen as an error if you said ' The doctor gave me several different medicines.' .

The word medicine is not countable. You can count medicinal pills, but not medicines. "This is a medicine which can heal the scar." is the correct way to speak.
