The best time to repair scars in children

  The child itself is in the growth and development stage, and the skin growth ability is strong. The best time for scar repair is within half a year after the scab falls off, and the earlier the treatment, the better, so as not to affect the appearance or cause local dysfunction.


If the scar is in the initial stage, intervention and treatment should be carried out as soon as possible, that is, 3 days after the suture is removed or the wound has healed and the scab falls off, start to apply anti-scarring drugs, such as topical cosmetic scar patch, or use polysulfonic mucopolysaccharide cream to The formation or proliferation of scars can be suppressed, and the skin can usually recover better. If the scar has been formed for a long time and needs to hurry up for treatment, laser radiation therapy can be considered. Surgery is necessary when the scar is severe.


   Within half a year after the scabs fall off, parents must help the child do daily care, try not to scratch the affected area, avoid sun exposure, eat lightly, and avoid spicy and irritating food.
