How can I avoid leaving scars on my wounds

No matter how deep or shallow, or how big or small, a wound on the skin will leave some scars after healing. This will have some adverse effects on your smooth and fair skin, which will not look very beautiful. In this case, you will want to lighten your scars. The best way is to use laser scar removal. However, after completing this operation, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of your skin.

Erythema multiforme, oral mucosa is congested (or has blisters), eroded, exudated, and bleeding (spontaneous or stimulated), so that there are often purple blood crusts on the red lips. When the disease is not under control, the blood crusts become thicker and thicker, like purple cocoons; lesions of the oral mucosa may show blood in the saliva; the skin is target erythema; if it is a severe case, in addition to the oral and skin manifestations, there are also damages to the eyes or genitals.

The scabs formed during the healing process of wounds caused by surgical stitches removal, bruises, knife wounds, and burns will feel extremely itchy, which means that your wound will heal soon, but people cannot resist the itch and scratch the scabs with their hands, especially children, who will subconsciously scratch the scabs, resulting in secondary infection of the wound and bleeding. Allantoin is a skin healing agent with local anesthetic effect, which can help epithelial hyperplasia, promote the growth of granulation tissue, and promote wound healing. On the one hand, it protects the wound from scabs and prevents scratching; on the other hand, it helps to remove the scabs. [3]

1. Pressure therapy: Suitable for patients with large scar area who are not suitable for radiotherapy and local drug treatment. The daily downtime should not exceed 30 minutes. This method is not effective for active keloids, but it can reduce the dose of postoperative radiotherapy and injection.

2. Chemotherapy: Use long-acting steroid preparations and inject them directly into the scar to inhibit the excess collagen in the scar and achieve the effect of scar degeneration. The main side effects include skin atrophy, depigmentation, telangiectasia, necrosis, ulcers and Cushing's syndrome, most of which are reversible. Other chemical drugs such as cytotoxins, immunosuppressants and other drugs are used for treatment, but serious systemic side effects limit their application.

3. Radiotherapy: Early use of electron beam or X-ray irradiation (within 24 hours) after keloid removal can reduce the postoperative recurrence of keloid and improve the cure rate.

4. Laser treatment: Suitable for flat scars without obvious functional impairment, and scattered, uneven, depressed scars of varying sizes left after healing of smallpox, chickenpox, and acne.

Others: Such as cryotherapy, wax therapy, iontophoresis, ultrasound, etc., for the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, but lack a large number of case controls and follow-up.
