The summer heat has arrived, and many of you have asked what can be done to relieve or prevent the painful and itchy scarring symptoms that have become more frequent with the hot weather. Today, we will introduce how to take care of scars in the hot summer. A. Local cooling Many scar patients often have painful and itchy symptoms, mainly due to the stimulation of local tissue vascular expansion. In addition to the patient’s diet and sleep, these symptoms can also be aggravated by the rise in ambient temperature and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with scars wear light, breathable clothing that absorbs sweat easily in the summer. The scars should be cooled down by cold compresses to relieve the discomfort. The scars are uneven on the surface of the scars, so if they are not cleaned properly, they will easily hide dirt and bacteria, causing infection and inflammation, and even ulceration. Therefore, it is important to clean the affected area normally and keep it clean. However, avoid scratching to avoid cutting the skin tissue. Third, pay attention to skin moisturizing In addition to try to do the scarred area clean, but also need to effectively moisturize. A moist local environment is more conducive to scar recovery. You can use some silicone dressings, gels, or products with good moisturizing effect. The post-operative tension reduction plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of scars, and can be combined with the use of reduction stickers and tension reducers. The sticker is first stuck to one end of the skin and then pulled towards the other end. Then apply the scar removal cream and then apply the meperidine. If the decongestant gets wet, it will lose its adhesion and should be replaced promptly.
