1. There are many ways to treat scars. The most basic surgery will generally flatten the scar higher than the normal skin, and the sunken scar will be raised by spreading the flap.
2. Bandage and compression therapy is to bandage and compress the higher scar to make it flat. These methods can only make scars less obvious, and there is no good solution to the problem that scar color is different from normal skin.
In addition, newer methods such as skin grafting, laser, chemotherapy, biological cell therapy and even gene therapy can only minimize scars.
4. It should be noted that there are more and more advertisements of Chinese and western medicines for removing scars. Is their scar removal effect really that magical? In fact, the general principle of topical scar-removing drugs is to promote scar maturity, accelerate scar softening and atrophy, and then achieve the effect of scar shallowing and shrinking, which may not necessarily make scars really disappear.
5. Keloid is different from other scars. Even after treatment, there is often a very high recurrence rate, and because of the influence on appearance, it has caused great pain to the daily life of patients. The treatment of keloid should be comprehensive and long-term under the guidance of hospitals and doctors.
