Hunan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the problems that should be paid attention to in the prevention and rehabilitation of burn scars are:

1, pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene. During wound healing, it can be cleaned with neutral detergent, and anti-scar drugs can be used after cleaning.

2, avoid excessive friction and excessive activity, so as not to cause skin and fiberboard layer separation to form blisters or blood blisters.

3. After lower limb burns, it is not advisable to go to the ground too early. When standing, the lower limb wound will turn purple or even bleed because of 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 sleeve to protect before going to the ground, which can reduce scar congestion.

4, blisters should be timely drainage, avoid infection to form ulcers. Due to various stimuli, the new epidermis is easy to relax and form blisters. If blisters are not treated promptly and correctly, they are usually infected and form ulcers.

5, early prevention, perseverance. The formation process of burn scar can be roughly divided into proliferative phase, stable phase and regression phase. The proliferation period lasts from 3 months to 2 years, and most of them are about half a year. However, due to various reasons such as ulcer, pain, impatience or improper methods, some patients often fail to adhere to scar rehabilitation treatment, resulting in scar hyperplasia and contracture.

6. Correctly grasp the timing of plastic surgery to prevent disability. Scar contracture of functional parts, such as hand scar, eye scar and jaw and neck scar, should be operated as soon as possible after the scar is stable, especially children, should be treated as soon as possible, and plastic surgery can be carried out in advance. Otherwise, it will cause abnormal development of joints and bones, shorten blood vessels and nerves, and lead to disability.
