If you don’t want to leave a scar from a stitched wound, you need to pay attention to wound hygiene, prevent secondary infection, and then use topical application of scar removal cream to lighten the scar and remove pigmentation. If the scar has been left, you can also consider doing physical therapy.
1. Pay attention to local hygiene: When the wound is stitched, attention should be paid to local hygiene, and insist on scrubbing with sterilized alcohol or iodine vapour to prevent secondary infection.
2. Apply scar removing ointment: If you are worried about scarring, you can apply scar removing ointment, such as Mucopolysaccharides Polysaccharides Cream, Allantoin Sodium Heparin Gel, during the recovery stage of the wound.
3. Physical therapy: If there is already scar formation, in order to prevent the scar from increasing and leaving pigmentation, you can consider laser therapy or cryotherapy.
During the healing period, avoid touching the stitched wounds with your hands frequently, and also prevent touching water too early. If the wounds do not recover well or if you find scar hyperplasia forming, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in time.
