Everyone has some scars more or less, some of which will fade with time, while others just cling to them, which not only affects the appearance, but also makes people more and more annoying! If you have a correct concept of scar care before, grasp the golden period from the third day to the sixth month of wound formation, and follow the three care principles of moistening, downward pressure and anti-tension, and use scar-removing or anti-scar products moderately, you may not have to hide for scars all the time!

The third stage of wound repair and scar care are concentrated in the second stage

Professor Guo Yaoren, director of plastic surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Kaohsiung Medical University, said that there are roughly three stages of wound healing, and the first three days are the "inflammatory stage"; The third day to the third week after operation or wound formation is the "proliferative period" with the fastest rate of collagen proliferation; Finally, there is a "repair period", which is about 3 weeks to 6 months after the operation. The proliferation period and repair period are the "golden care period" to prevent scar formation.

Generally speaking, scars can be divided into "hypertrophic scars" and "crab-foot swelling", and their care methods are similar. However, people with crab-foot swelling or family history should pay special attention, consult professional doctors, intervene in medical treatment at an early stage, and give local pressure treatment, scar-removing ointment and injection of scar-removing needles to reduce scar proliferation.

However, even for the potential population with swollen crab feet, scar prevention and care management can't be carried out until the wound has passed the inflammatory stage or the surgical wound has been removed. Too early scar resistance may prolong the healing time of the wound and even make it easy to split.
