Science: How much do you know about scars?

  Not only do burn scars bring damage to our image, but many patients also experience itchy scars, sometimes even feeling like they are about to scratch to relieve the itch.  What should I do about itchy scars?  After being accidentally scalded by hot water or hot oil, the healing scars are often higher than the normal skin, and the itchiness can be very stressful and unpleasant.    After the skin has been scalded by a hot object or molten body, scarring occurs as a phenomenon of tissue proliferation during the healing process of deeply scalded skin. During the healing phase of the skin wound formation there is a proliferative phase and a scar remodeling phase, which occurs during the proliferative phase and produces an itchy sensation. The itching can last for several months and is especially noticeable when a person is emotionally disturbed in a certain environment or when there is a large change in temperature.  You may have experienced that sometimes when you go from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors at once, or when you take off your thick coat and lie down under the blanket at night before going to bed, under the stimulation of one cold and one hot, the scar will suddenly feel a burst of itching, and you will not be able to resist scratching, but often the more you scratch, the more you scratch, and the more you scratch, the more severe the itching becomes, resulting in a vicious circle. If you scratch too hard, it may cause the skin to break or leave hyperpigmentation, which will make the treatment more difficult.  The itchy burn scars are caused by the fact that there is still fibrous connective tissue proliferating at the scars and nerve endings seeping into the scar tissue, and the human body is particularly sensitive, so the itchy symptoms will appear on the skin. Therefore, in many cases, if the scar itching is not very serious, you should try to tolerate it and not scratch it, and you can use drugs to promote scar maturation under the guidance of your physician. If the itch is more severe, you can also apply some local ointment with anti-itching effect to relieve the symptoms, but only under the guidance of a professional physician, or use a cold compress with a towel soaked in cool water to reduce the symptoms of scar itching.  The bumps and bruises are really unavoidable accidents, the bumps and bruises in life will inevitably hurt our fragile skin, if not handled well, it is easy to leave obvious scars, how to deal with the face bumps and bruises do not leave scars?    How to deal with a bump on the face does not leave a scar?  The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.  If you’re not sure if your face will stay scarred, if it’s just a minor bump, such as a little skin, then as long as the wound heals well, it won’t leave a scar, but if it’s a serious bump, it’s impossible not to leave a scar, but only after the wound heals to minimize scarring, but it can’t be avoided.  After the face bump, want to not leave scars under a few places need to pay attention to (but is for the smaller minor face bump, if it is more serious bump, or through the professional physician care better): a. Timely care. After the face bump, if the wound is not very deep, you can carry out their own anti-inflammatory kill poison, bandage treatment, but bear in mind that when cleaning the wound, to saline, do not use raw water and iodine for disinfection, so as not to cause wound infection or leave scarring discoloration! If the wound formed is large and deep, you need to go to the hospital in time, by a professional physician to kill the poison, anti-inflammatory, suture, bandage treatment.  Second, sun protection work. During the period of wound formation, healing and scar growth, patients must pay attention to sun protection work, when going out, to cover the scar area, or apply sunscreen, avoid direct sunlight or exposure to the wound area, resulting in the ultraviolet rays of the sun to promote melanocytes to secrete too much melanin particles, and leave scar pigmentation.  Third, pay attention to the daily diet. With a wound, the diet should be supplemented with zinc-rich foods, zinc-rich foods, such as seafood like sea fish and seaweed, beef, pork liver, pork kidney walnuts, peanuts and other nuts, and legumes such as soybeans, fava beans, etc., can promote cell division, accelerate the healing of wounds and weaken the proliferation of scars. Eat less spicy and stimulating, sweet, thick and fatty foods, and do not eat pumpkin, leek and other hairy things to avoid stimulating the wound, which is not conducive to wound healing.  In order to prevent the knock left too obvious scars, you can use some scar fading methods to prevent leaving obvious unsightly scars after the wound heals, but also to effectively fade the knock scars and minimize scarring.
