1. There are symptoms of scar hyperplasia?
Deep second and third degree scalds, after the wound has healed, anti-scar treatment should be given in time.
The signs of scar hyperplasia are: the skin begins to bulge, become red, and harden.
2, when do you start anti-scar treatment?
As soon as the wound is healed, anti-scarring must begin. Once the scar grows, it is difficult to disappear, so we must fight the scar at the first time to limit the growth of the scar.
If the burn area is large, there will be some areas that heal first, so the first heal is the first anti-scar. It is important to note that the skin must be completely healed to avoid rupture of the healed skin wound.
3. How long does it take to resist scars?
There is a process of scar growth. After 14 days of wound healing, it will enter the scar hyperplasia period, three to six months into the peak scar hyperplasia period, eight months into the stable scar hyperplasia period, and one year later into the scar shrinkage period. Some people may not have completed this cycle in a few years because they have no taboo. Because scars also need nutrition and can compete for nutrition. Therefore, it takes at least one year to resist scars.
4. What is the most effective way to fight scars?
Pressure. This is a step that all anti-scarring must do. There are two ways of implementation, one is to apply elastic bandages, and the other is to apply Zilimei medical elastic sleeves such as elastic garments, pants, masks, gloves and foot guards. The pressure should be moderate, too much is harmful, too little is ineffective. If there is swelling, reduce the pressure immediately.
Use anti-scar drugs. For example: Kangruibao, asiaticoside cream ointment, Barker, Corini, Mepiform, Shushen, Scar enemy, etc.
Functional exercise. Don't be afraid of the pain, you must exercise regularly to avoid affecting the body function. (Patients with skin grafts should pay special attention to the fact that contracture scars are prone to appear.)
5. What is the diet during the anti-scar period?
Pay attention to the taboo. Some foods that promote wound healing can no longer be eaten during the proliferative period, because the nutrients at this time will be absorbed by the scar, causing the scar to grow wildly. For example: pig skin, trotters, turtle, chicken soup and so on. Can't eat anymore. You can eat more kelp, alkaline food can help prevent hyperplasia.
