The centipede-shaped scars left after surgery can be repaired mainly by laser treatment, medication and surgery.
1. Laser treatment: Fractional laser treatment is one of the more commonly used laser treatments, which mainly utilizes the thermal energy of laser to cause thermal damage to local tissues and induce local skin tissue structure rearrangement, so as to achieve the purpose of fading scars and removing scars.
2. Medication: In the early stage of scar formation, local ointment can be applied under the guidance of specialists, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation; if scar proliferation is obvious, glucocorticosteroids such as trimethoprim can be injected into the scar, so as to achieve the purpose of softening the scar.
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 wish to undergo treatment should go to a regular hospital in a timely manner and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
