There was a black mark on the scar before the injury. Can you fade by yourself? How long will it take?
Leaving a scar on your body will not only affect your appearance, but also affect your mood. In order to get rid of it, many people spend a lot of money to try various scar removal methods. However, Lu Zhijun, deputy chief physician of dermatology department of Shanghai Huangpu Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, reminded that scar removal should be treated differently according to specific conditions, and different methods should be adopted according to different skin types and the causes of scar formation.

Dr. Lu explained that scar is the final product of wound filling, repairing and healing through granulation tissue. During this process, the body usually releases a kind of protein called "collagen" for wound self-repair. Therefore, for general shallow scars, such as scars left by broken skin, all or part of them will gradually flatten out over time through the repair of "collagen". If you feel that the speed of natural repair is too slow, you can also apply some drugs to accelerate skin metabolism to help scar repair as soon as possible. For example, VE capsules can be applied to marked parts, and scars will naturally fade away after a little massage.

If the effect of scar self-repair is not great, it can be polished by laser. However, due to the limitation of depth, it is generally only suitable for relatively flat scars, such as acne, not very serious traumatic scars, tattoos and some pigmentation.

There is also a kind of scar after injury, which will form solid tumor-like nodules or long-term tumors due to excessive proliferation, sag and bulge on the skin surface or shrink the surrounding skin in the direction of scar, gradually harden, and even cause local muscle deformity and dysfunction. At this time, the best way to remove scars is surgical resection to fundamentally reduce the prominent scars. However, new scars will be produced after scar removal, so other scar removal methods should be used comprehensively to achieve the best results.

For people with scar constitution, if the scar is not obvious, don't remove it surgically to avoid new scars after operation. In this case, the method of laser treatment is relatively safer and safer.

Dr. Lu specially reminded that new scars should not be treated prematurely, because it usually takes half a year for new scars to stabilize. Of course, it is best to go to the hospital before removing the scar, ask the doctor for a thorough examination, and then take corresponding measures according to the doctor's advice.
