Itchy hyperplastic scar can be gradually improved through daily care, medication, laser treatment and surgery combined with radiotherapy.
1. Daily care: If hyperplastic scarring occurs, first of all, you should not scratch the itch directly with your hands, otherwise it will easily stimulate the scar to further proliferate. Therefore, try to keep the scar area clean and keep a happy mood.
2. Medication:
(1) If proliferative scarring is accompanied by itching, you can also use topical anti-itch medication (such as hormone ointment) to treat it, and you can also stop itching by applying cold compresses locally.
(2) Intra-scar medication can be injected to alleviate the symptoms and reduce the size of the scar, commonly used medications include Triamcinolone acetonide, compound betamethasone and so on.
3. Laser therapy: If the itching of hyperplastic scar is more intense, it can also be combined with laser therapy. Through laser irradiation, the proliferating capillaries in the scar will absorb the energy, thus destroying the capillaries and slowing down their growth, thus relieving the itchiness and promoting the fading of the scar.
4. Surgery combined with radiotherapy: If the itching reaches an intolerable level, surgical excision combined with irradiation of superficial X-rays can be used to stop the excessive proliferation of the scar.
As you can see, itchiness is generally normal when hyperplasia occurs, but if itchiness, pain and other symptoms are serious, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
