Generally three months to six months, 80% of scars can be recovered.

Under the guidance of experts, take comprehensive measures to control scar hyperplasia and prevent contracture. So far, there is no specific method to completely prevent scar hyperplasia after burn, and comprehensive treatment is still the main method of scar prevention and treatment.

Precautions:

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, so bacteria are easy to multiply quickly. In addition, the epidermis is thin and tender, the structure and function are not perfect, and it is easy to be infected and ulcerated. In the meantime, we can use neutral detergent for cleaning, and then use anti-scar drugs and other treatments after cleaning.

2, 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.

3, correctly grasp the timing of treatment 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.

4. Avoid excessive friction and excessive activity. Due to the imperfect structure and function of scar epidermis, the epidermis is more vulnerable to injury, and some improper treatment may aggravate the injury. When applying anti-scar drugs, it is not advisable to massage excessively or for a long time, which will separate the epidermis from the fiberboard layer to form blisters or blood blisters, and excessive joint activity will also lead to the loosening and separation of the epidermis and blisters.
