Is there a scientific basis for eating soy sauce wounds and leaving scars?
Gong Hongbin, a national second-class nutritionist, said that this statement has no scientific basis.

The substance that darkens the skin or scar is melanin, which is secreted by melanocytes existing in the epidermis. Soy sauce is a food made from fermented bean products. The main component is amino acid, which does not produce melanin.

Whether the wound heals well or not mainly depends on the size of the wound, the degree of infection and the nutritional status of the human body.
