Can burn scars be repaired? Generally, everyone will be more concerned about leaving scars on the skin. In fact, many times in life, we will be injured, and the treatment of scars is also of concern to everyone. Can the following burn scars be repaired?

Can burn scars be repaired? 1 burn scars can generally be repaired. If it is only a small area of burn scars, anti-scar drugs can be used for treatment. If necessary, laser treatment and surgical treatment can generally achieve the effect of removing scars. If it is a systemic scar, it can be treated by elastic sleeve compression and local anti-scar drugs, and the scar at the joint can be surgically removed and then repaired by skin grafting.

Beauty lovers should pay attention to keep their skin clean and hygienic after operation, and do not use cosmetics and skin care products for a short time to prevent infection or inflammation of the surgical site. Diet should also be light, and don't eat food with too much pigment. If you go out, you need to do a good job of sun protection and avoid direct sunlight.

Of course, in order to make the operation more effective and last longer, it is recommended that beauty lovers go to a large regular hospital for surgery, where there are not only advanced equipment, but also experienced doctors, which can improve the success rate of surgery to a certain extent.

Facing the scars left by burns, there are folk remedies.

I was accidentally burned when I was a child. Old people at home say that toothpaste or soy sauce will help. If there is aloe at home, fresh aloe juice will be applied to the wound to promote the repair of the wound. The older generation thought aloe vera could relieve pain and repair wounds. But from a scientific point of view, such a treatment is likely to bring security risks.

Toothpaste, soy sauce and aloe vera are not the right treatments. When injured skin is stimulated by toothpaste, soy sauce, etc. It is likely to aggravate the injury and cause the wound to be contaminated again. If it is not cleaned, it is probably because of bacterial and fungal infections, which is not conducive to wound repair.

If it is aimed at the scars that have been formed, the practice of applying aloe or aloe gel can only be a psychological comfort, which is very limited in helping to treat and dilute scars.

How to deal with the scar left by burns?

Human skin is mainly stratum corneum, epidermis and dermis, plus the deepest subcutaneous tissue. When taking a bath, people who like to rub ash can generally remove the stratum corneum in time, which is the redundant part of the skin surface. Too thick stratum corneum may form a lot of dead skin. Regular removal of stratum corneum can also make people's skin more delicate and expose fair skin more easily.

After scald or burn, it may destroy human epidermis and some superficial dermis. In this case, the patient will feel intense pain, but because it does not damage the dermis, it can often be repaired automatically after a period of time.

However, burns often lead to deeper dermal damage, in which case it is easy to leave scars. If we rely on the skin's own repair function, we can only constantly produce granulation tissue to fill the damaged skin, thus producing obvious traces, which will be very different from the surrounding skin color.

If you are worried about this kind of scar, it is suggested that people can take effective measures in time and deal with it at the best repair time.

When is the best time for maintenance?

After burns, burns and other events, scars often appear soon. At first, it may be blood scab and peeling at the wound, exposing your skin. It will probably enter the best period of scar repair 1-2 months after skin self-repair. At this time, the scar is still new, and early repair can produce better repair effect.

If you have missed the best opportunity for this repair, you can also repair it about 6- 12 months after the scar appears. Although this stage is not a new scar, it can also avoid scar hyperplasia after the scar appears, resulting in the original scar getting bigger and bigger.

There are many ways to deal with this burn scars, and here are three main ways to share with you.

First of all, after the wound is completely healed, you can take scar-removing drugs. At present, there are drugs that can produce good therapeutic effects, such as quba ointment and quba paste. Drugs can help the human body repair skin, promote skin regeneration and make scars smoother. For some small scars, it is easier to improve the surrounding skin by this method. But bigger scars cannot be improved.

The second measure is to use laser therapy. According to different types of scars and different time when scars appear, different laser types can be selected and laser parameters can be adjusted. It can bring better adjustment effect to the problems such as redness, color difference and flat skin caused by scar appearance.

The third is to take surgery to remove scars. Clinically, skin transplantation and suture are used to repair wounds. These methods can be used alone or in combination, and targeted measures can be taken according to different symptoms of patients.

If you are also troubled by the scars left by burns, you may wish to share your experience in the comments section or backstage. After seeing it, I will also give targeted solutions in time to help people get rid of scars, repair people's original skin as much as possible, and improve people's appearance.

Can burn scars be repaired? The best treatment period of burn and scald scar.

The best period of burn and scald scars is mainly divided into two periods. One is to repair the scar within 1-2 months, and the other is after 6- 12 months, because the scar hyperplasia period is 6- 12 months. Choosing this time to repair is very helpful to stabilize the repair effect.

The first stage: 1-2 months.

At this time, the burn scar has just formed, and scar hyperplasia begins at the edge of the wound or skin graft area, and some dilated capillaries can be seen, with rough surface and discomfort such as itching and pain ... If it is repaired at this time, it can not only effectively control hyperplasia and relieve discomfort symptoms, but also repair is relatively difficult and relatively cheap.

The second stage: within 3 to 6 months

Generally, scar hyperplasia will reach its peak about 3-6 months after wound healing. At this time, the scar no longer increases and thickens, and the color changes from bright red to crimson or purplish red. The epidermis is thin and the capillary thickness is uneven, and its itching, burning pain and other symptoms may continue.

In addition to the manifestations of hyperplasia, scars also begin to shrink, leading to organ displacement, joint dislocation and deformity ... Therefore, if we can control and treat burn scars at this time, it will also be conducive to the early repair of scar hyperplasia.

According to the depth, burns and scalds are generally divided into three degrees and four points:

1, I degree: the epidermis is involved, and it will desquamate after 2 ~ 3 days without leaving scars.

2. Shallow degree II: the damage reaches the superficial dermis. If there is no infection, it will heal in 2 weeks without leaving scars, but pigmentation can be seen.

3. Deep second degree: the wound reaches the deep dermis with skin adhesion, and it heals in 3-4 weeks, often with scars.

4. Ⅲ degree: the damage reaches the whole skin layer, involving subcutaneous tissue, muscle and bone, causing skin necrosis and forming eschar. After 2-4 weeks, the eschar falls off, granulation tissue appears and scars form.

After deep second-degree and third-degree burns, the probability of skin scarring is very high. Once the scar is formed, it is difficult to completely eliminate it. Therefore, the prevention of scars is better than the treatment.

Matters needing attention in daily nursing after burns and scalds

1, pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene: when the burn wound has just healed, there are still a small amount of secretions and scabs, and bacteria are easy to multiply rapidly. In addition, the epidermis is thin and tender, and its structure and function are not perfect, which is easy to cause infection and ulceration. In the meantime, it can be washed with normal saline and kept dry after washing.

2. Avoid excessive friction and excessive activity: after the wound is formed, it is not advisable to exercise excessively or massage for a long time, which will separate the epidermis from the fiberboard layer to form blisters or blood blisters. Excessive joint activity will remove scars and lead to the loose separation of epidermis and blisters.

3. Prevent scar formation and strengthen exercise: Scar prevention should start after wound healing. Healed wounds can be coated with silicone gel medicine to inhibit scar hyperplasia, combined with silicone gel dressing, and pressurized with elastic bandage or elastic sleeve. The treatment time should last for some time. Functional parts should strengthen exercise after wound healing to avoid scar contracture affecting limb activities.

4, lower limb burns, it is not appropriate to move prematurely: because the scar epidermis is weak, the structure and function of the blood vessels below it are still not perfect, and it is impossible to control the internal pressure against gravity. When standing, the wound surface of lower limbs will turn purple or even bleed due to capillary rupture, which will aggravate scar hyperplasia. Generally, it is more appropriate to go to the ground in about 3 months. It is best to use a pressure jacket to protect before digging, which can reduce scar congestion.

The doctor suggested that after burns and scalds, correct preventive measures must be taken in time. If the situation is serious, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Once burns and scalds form scars, they should go to professional hospitals for standardized and scientific treatment. With the current technical strength, good therapeutic effect can be achieved completely.

Can burn scars be repaired? What are the nursing measures for burns?

1, early treatment of wounds

After the patient's shock is basically controlled, simple debridement should be carried out as soon as possible under good anesthesia and aseptic conditions. The order of debridement is generally from head, limbs, chest and abdomen, back and perineum.

2. Nursing care of bandaging therapy

A method for sealing and fixing burn wounds with dressing. The purpose is to relieve the pain of the wound, prevent the wound from deepening and prevent the wound from infection. At the same time, a certain pressure can partially reduce wound exudation and reduce wound edema.

3. Nursing care of exposure therapy

Suitable for burns, wounds in special parts (head, face, neck or perineum), wounds with special infections (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungi) and large-area wounds.

The ward of exposure therapy should meet the following conditions: indoor cleanliness and necessary disinfection and isolation conditions; The room temperature is controlled at 28 ~ 32 degrees Celsius and the humidity is about 70%. Convenient for first aid.

Turn-over bed is the equipment for treating large area burns in burn ward. Explain the significance, methods and safety of turning-over bed to patients before use, and eliminate their fears and doubts. People who are prone for the first time should pay attention to prevent suffocation and observe closely.

4, scabbing, skin grafting care

Deep burn wound healing is slow or difficult, and scar hyperplasia can lead to deformity and dysfunction. Therefore, escharectomy, escharectomy and skin grafting should be done in the early stage of burn wounds, and the nursing care before and after skin grafting operation should be done well.

5, the treatment of infected wounds

Strengthen the nursing of burn wounds and remove pus and necrotic tissue in time.

6, special parts burn care

(1) Inhalation injury: 1 Prepare first aid articles at the bedside; (2) keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, such as tracheotomy, and do a good job in tracheotomy nursing; ③ Oxygen inhalation in time; 4 Close observation. And actively prevent lung infection.

(2) Head and neck burns: Exposure therapy is often used, and the patient is placed in a semi-recumbent position to observe whether there is respiratory tract burns and give corresponding treatment if necessary.

(3) Perineal burn: keep local dryness, abduct the thigh and expose the wound; Avoid urine pollution, wash anus and perineum with normal saline after defecation, and pay attention to keep the surrounding wounds clean.
