Scratch scars can be treated with medication, physical therapy and surgery to improve their appearance and cannot be completely removed.
1. Medication: Scars appear locally after scratching, and most of them are depressed scars. In the early stage of scar formation, topical growth factor gel can be used to promote local tissue growth to improve the degree of scar depression.
2. Physical therapy: 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 local collagen regeneration and rearranging, but it usually requires several treatments to achieve the desired effect.
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 suture. However, surgery is an invasive operation, there is a risk of re-formation of hyperplastic scar, after surgery, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
For those who have scratched scars, it is recommended that patients who wish to be treated should go to a regular hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
