Scars in children are mainly scars on the face caused by trauma and scars on the body caused by burns, which is a thorn in the side of parents. Although parents are eager to cure scars, the treatment of children’s scars is different from that of adults. To treat children’s scars safely and effectively, we must first clarify the differences between children’s scars and general scar treatment, find out the difficulty of treating children’s scars, and carry out targeted treatment. From the perspective of children themselves, children are at the age of growth and development, with high metabolism and thin skin, the same injury will often cause more serious damage to children than adults, and similarly, the scars left behind will often be more serious than adults, and the treatment will be more difficult. 2, from the treatment point of view, scar treatment for children is more difficult, children tolerate discomfort and actively cooperate with treatment to a lesser extent than adults, some children avoid the physician as soon as they see him or her, and cry when they hear about the treatment. Secondly, some treatments available for adults are not applicable to children and require physicians to make adjustments and decisions based on the condition. There are many parents who worry that scar treatment will be painful and unbearable for their children, and that the treatment will not harm their children’s skin, etc. If you want to guarantee safe and effective treatment for your child, you should also understand these points Thin – thin epidermis: children’s epidermis is thin and tender compared to adults, so treatment must avoid invasive treatment, such as surgery, etc. Once the skin tissue is secondarily injured, recovery will be more difficult. Weak – weak resistance: children’s skin protection function is not yet fully developed, their resistance to adverse factors is weak, their sensitivity to pain is high and their ability to withstand is poor, so treatment must be mild to remove scars. Poor – poor regulation: Children’s skin and immune system are not yet fully developed, with poor self-regulation and repair ability, and poor adaptability to topical drugs, etc. Be careful to use prescriptions or topical drugs to avoid side effects to stimulate scars to be more serious. Due to the limitations of skin and body growth and development, many scar removal methods cannot be used for children. For example, surgical and radiological treatments are not recommended, and treatments that are gentle and safe and do not cause secondary damage to the child’s delicate skin must be used. Some child scars need to be treated as early as possible to reduce the impact on the child, while some scars can not be repaired immediately. how to choose, you can refer to the following points: 1. from the age of the child The age of the child is not recommended for immediate scar treatment if it is under 3 years old. for children between 3 and 5 years old, according to the size of the scar area, the doctor needs to diagnose before judging whether treatment can be carried out, generally the area For larger scars, scar repair is recommended after the age of 5. If the scar is located in the joint activity area of the body or is large in size, it should be treated as early as possible. Scars are inelastic non-normal skin tissues. As the child grows up, scars will gradually pull the surrounding skin and joints, which affects the development of the child’s limbs. 3.From the current state of the scar If the scar starts to bulge after the child’s wound heals and grows larger, it should be treated as soon as possible for this type of hyperplastic scars. Because the metabolism of children is fast, compared to adults scars will grow faster. Also, scars in the hyperplasia phase will be itchy and painful, which can be unbearable for the child. 4.From the aesthetic point of view If the child’s scar is not in the exposed area, it is not painful and does not affect the aesthetics, it can be temporarily left untreated, depending on the scar condition. If the scar is on the face and other parts, it is very obvious, it is recommended that it can be treated earlier. The psychological construction of children are weak, and the different eyes of the bystanders and the harm of words can easily make children grow up with low self-esteem and sensitive personality.
