Edema around the wound after scabbing may be due to incomplete recovery of the wound, wound infection or scar tissue. 1. The wound is not fully recovered: the body will damage the local skin tissues and muscles when the wound occurs, although the wound scabs, but the damaged skin tissues and muscles may not have recovered, affecting the local blood circulation, which leads to edema around the wound after scabbing. 2. Wound infection: edema around the wound after scabbing may also be due to infection and inflammation of the wound, when infection occurs, it will cause local edema. 3. Scar tissue: If the patient belongs to keloid, after the wound scabs, scar tissue will be formed around the damaged skin, which will show local edema in the early stage. When edema appears around the wound after scabbing, you should go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment for the cause of the disease, so as to avoid leaving a scar.
