Who doesn’t have an injury in their daily life? The first thing that comes to mind after an injury is how to heal the wound as soon as possible, and the most worrying thing after the wound heals is leaving a scar, especially young girls who love beauty are more concerned about whether to leave a scar. So, how to prevent scar growth? How to treat the scar once it is formed?
First, let’s talk about the prevention of scarring. Although the proliferation of keloid scars is closely related to the injury site, depth, cause of injury, genetic constitution, and preventive measures, in general, keloid scars can be controlled and prevented.
The prevention measures of scar are as follows: 1) prevention before scar formation: ① prevention of surgical incision scar, following the principle of “five free and two appropriate”, i.e.: sterile, tension-free, foreign body-free, non-invasive, no dead cavity, proper surgical method and appropriate timing of surgery; ② prevention of non-therapeutic scar, for traumatic wounds should be actively treated, and try to make the wound heal within a short time. The wounds should be healed within a short period of time, and joint parts should be closed with skin implants as early as possible to prevent linear scar formation across the joints; 2. Prevention of scar formation period: effective drugs or measures should be taken to prevent excessive scar proliferation and accelerate scar maturation after the wounds are healed. The main methods are: compression therapy (advocate “one early [after healing] two tight [pressure should be enough] three lasting [try to 24 hours]”, you know.) The treatment of keloid scars can be done by the following methods: compression therapy (early [start], tight [enough pressure], long lasting [as long as possible], you know), drug therapy (too many to list), radiotherapy and functional rehabilitation.
Treatment of scarring All scarring should be treated if it is above the skin surface, has ulcer formation, itches, is cancerous or has an effect on function and appearance. Treatment methods include non-surgical, surgical and combined surgical and non-surgical treatments.
1, non-surgical therapy: compression therapy [there are special manufacturers producing pressure sets, you can order them yourself, yo]; physical therapy [including light, electricity, magnetism, water, heat, ultrasound therapy, etc.]; radiation therapy [mainly for the treatment of keloids]; drug therapy, etc.
2.Surgical treatment: Commonly used are: scar excision and suture, skin graft, flap graft, grinding, skin soft tissue expansion, microsurgery technique, etc.
3.Comprehensive treatment: surgery + radiation therapy; surgery + drug injection therapy; drug injection + cryotherapy; scar grinding + isotope patching; combined Chinese and Western medicine therapy, etc.
In conclusion, scar treatment is a complex process, and not just one or two drugs can solve the problem. If you are unfortunate enough to have a scar and want to cure it very much, it is better to consult a specialist.
