Bite scars cannot be eliminated once they appear, but the appearance of the scar can be improved through the following ways, including medication, physical therapy and surgical treatment.
1. Medication: In the early stage of scar formation, local ointment can be applied under the guidance of specialists, such as sodium heparin allantoin ointment and silicone gel to inhibit scar proliferation; if scar proliferation is obvious, glucocorticosteroids such as trimethoprim can be injected into the scar, so as to achieve the purpose of softening the scar.
2. Physical 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 peeling off and stimulating the regeneration and rearrangement of the local collagen, but generally, it requires several times of treatments to achieve the desired results.
3. Surgery: If the scar is obvious and affects the appearance or function, and the conservative treatment is ineffective for a long period of time, 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, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the anti-scar treatment.
For people who need to eliminate bite scars, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital and cooperate with a specialist for standardized treatment.
