Scars on the body can not be completely removed, through a variety of therapeutic measures to improve its appearance, the main interventions are drug therapy, phototherapy, surgery and so on.
1. Medication: Early scar formation can be treated with local ointment under the guidance of a specialist, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation. If the scar proliferation is obvious, you can choose to inject glucocorticoid such as Triamcinolone acetonide into the scar to achieve the purpose of softening the scar.
2. Photoelectric treatment: At present, carbon dioxide fractional laser, erbium laser and other photoelectric treatments are commonly used to deal with keloid scars, which can improve the appearance of keloid scars by peeling off and stimulating the regeneration and rearrangement of the local collagen, but it usually takes several times of treatments to achieve the desired results.
3. Surgery: If the scar is obvious and affects the appearance or function, and the conservative treatment is ineffective for a long period of time, the proliferating scar tissue can be removed through surgery and then reduced tension suture. However, surgery is an invasive operation, and there is a risk of re-formation of hyperplastic scar, and after the operation, patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
It is recommended that patients who are willing to be treated should go to a regular hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose an appropriate treatment plan.
