What do I know about scar removal?
After the child was injured, he has been searching for all kinds of information about scars. What do I know? To sum it up.

"Scar" is a local symptom that physical, biological, chemical and other factors damage human skin and soft tissue, resulting in serious damage to skin and soft tissue, which cannot be completely repaired by itself and is replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting appearance and function.

There are many factors that affect how long a scar stays on the body. Here, we don't consider scar constitution, and we don't consider special and rare situations. Pay attention to common common wounds. Whether there will be a scar is related to many factors, and the first and most critical one is the beginning of wound formation. If you have no choice, start by taking good care of the wound.

Wound formation period

-Different wounds should be treated differently. Generally speaking, the deeper the wound, the easier it is to leave scars, and the more serious the scars will be. The wound is not deep, but if it is not handled properly, it is easy to leave scars when it causes infection. It is very important to treat the wound correctly. The wound is cleaned up without repeated inflammation. Let it recover as soon as possible is the first priority.

1. Emergency care should be given as soon as possible after injury. Go to the hospital and ask the doctor to clean the wound.

2, you don't have to have a beauty line or something, the doctor's skill is more important than the choice of line. Whether the doctor's suture is neat is also very important, but if there is a big gap in itself, the scar is difficult to disappear.

3, rest taboo, don't eat indiscriminately, eat more vegetables, light diet, drink more water, supplement vitamins, don't stay up late, have a good rest, and let the wound heal as soon as possible.

4, timely dressing change, disinfection, keep the wound dry is conducive to wound healing as soon as possible.

Scar formation period

-Kill the scar in the cradle. If the wound is handled in time, there may be no scar or little scar within one month after healing, but if we relax our vigilance and let the wound be stimulated, the wound will grow up. Three or four months after wound healing is the fastest time for scar growth, and it begins to slow down in the fifth or sixth month. Generally speaking, after one year, scars are "mature" and no longer grow. Some people may not mature until two or three years later. This is why experts always remind that the sooner scars are treated, the better, and it is best to "kill them in the cradle" when they first appear. For scars that are still in the growth stage, topical drugs, scar patches and pressure therapy can be used. Topical medicine and scar patch are mainly composed of silicone, and there are also Chinese patent medicines. It is best to use it in the early stage of scar formation, and it is also suitable for hypertrophic scars. It can reduce scar congestion, relieve itching and tingling, and inhibit scar formation from many angles.

1, don't take it lightly. The growth period of scar is half a year, so we should prevent death and not be lazy. To be prepared for a protracted war, it is best to use it for more than half a year until the scar is mature. The younger the skin is, the thicker, redder and harder the scar is because of its strong elasticity and tension, and the scar fades slowly, while the older people, due to the opposite conditions, have less obvious scars.

2. Scar ointment can be divided into ordinary moisturizing ointment, anti-inflammatory ointment containing steroids, moisturizing and softening ointment containing silica gel, and melanin-removing ointment used to dilute pigmentation. Scar is the normal connective tissue of wound healing, so it will inevitably form and exist in any wound. External ointment applied to scar can only play a slight role in moisturizing and softening connective tissue and diluting pigment, thus improving and beautifying the appearance of scar.

3, the actual scar removal products still have their own emphasis. Virtue is mainly to deal with superficial skin scars and fade pigments such as scratches, abrasions, scratches and other scars that are not convex or hyperplastic. But the effect on proliferation is even worse. Parents are surgical scars, which are easy to proliferate. Bak and Shukewei gel are recommended. Gel is mainly used to treat red marks and hyperplasia. It is generally used after surgical suture and suture removal to dilute the red mark. Prevent and inhibit proliferation.

4. Massage the wound properly, which will help the scar to mature as soon as possible.

Silicone scar removal products: such as Barker, Shukewei, skin care, scar removal glue, etc. , Xianka, Baxter.

Extracted from plants: such as Virtue, Xiubi, Kangruibao, etc.

Steroids: Not studied.

1, scar prevention is more important than scar removal. The golden period of scar removal is within 3 or 4 months of wound healing, and nursing at this time is twice the result with half the effort.

2, there is no 100% medicine for removing scars, and there is no medicine for removing scars. Choose different wound types according to different needs.

Reliable products are more important than price.

4. Read the description of each product carefully instead of1+1> 2. Different products may not be used in superposition, but it may be just a waste of money or less. If you miss the golden period of scar repair, the loss will be great.

5, anti-scar is a long process, not overnight, but a continuous process. Prepare for half a year to 1 year.

6, according to the specific situation of specific analysis and adjustment, don't go all the way black. It is more important to communicate in time and find out the cause of the problem than to complain and stop at the same place.

7. Taobao is a search resource that is not lost to Baidu. It is always good to see more experts among the people. However, Baidu and Taobao should not be just a statement. The choice should be more scientific, and we should look for more medical materials with a rational attitude. Only in this way can it be more perfect and reliable.
