Mosquito bite scars are mostly caused by scratching, or localized infections. Scars cannot be removed once they appear, but their appearance can be improved by applying medication, local injections, lasers and surgery.
1. Application of medication: In the early stage of scar formation, you can apply local ointment under the guidance of a specialist, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation.
2. Local injection of drugs: if the scar proliferation is obvious, you can choose the glucocorticoid intra-scar injection such as Triamcinolone acetonide to achieve the purpose of softening the scar.
3. Laser therapy: At present, carbon dioxide fractional laser, erbium laser and other photoelectric treatments are commonly used to deal with keloid scars, which can improve the appearance of keloid scars by stripping, stimulating local collagen regeneration and rearranging, but it usually takes several times of treatments to achieve the desired results.
4. Surgery: If the scar is obvious and affects the appearance or function, and prolonged conservative treatment is ineffective, the proliferating scar tissue can be removed through surgery and then reduced suture. However, surgery is an invasive operation, and there is a risk of re-formation of hyperplastic scar, and after the operation, patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
It is recommended that patients who wish to undergo treatment should go to a regular hospital in a timely manner and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
