Scars that have been stitched cannot be removed once they appear, but their appearance can be improved by topical medication, laser, surgery, etc. You can choose the appropriate treatment plan in conjunction with the time of scar formation and the severity of the scar.
1. Drugs: In the early stage of scar formation, you can apply local ointment under the guidance of specialized doctors, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation; if scar proliferation is obvious, you can choose intra-scar injection of glucocorticosteroids, such as Triamcinolone acetonide, to achieve the purpose of softening keloid scars.
2. Laser: At present, the commonly used methods for clinical treatment of keloid scars include carbon dioxide fractional laser, erbium laser, etc., which can improve the appearance of keloid scars by peeling off and stimulating the regeneration of local collagen.
3. Surgery: If the scar affects the appearance or function, and the effect of the above treatments is not particularly satisfactory, surgery can be considered, such as keloid reshaping surgery, etc. Surgery is invasive and traumatic. Surgery is invasive and traumatic, and there is a risk of scarring after surgery, so it is necessary to follow the standardized anti-scarring treatment.
It is recommended that patients who wish to undergo treatment should go to a regular medical institution and follow the specialist’s instructions to choose an appropriate treatment plan, avoiding blind self-treatment, which may cause adverse consequences.
