A soft bump appeared after the wound healed

Many people will find a soft lump after the wound heals after being injured. What is the reason for this? First, consider whether it is a scar caused by natural proliferation of the wound. To solve this problem, scar removal treatment is needed. Secondly, you can press the soft bag at the wound to determine whether there is pus and blood accumulation. Generally, in this state, the soft bag at the wound will have slight redness, swelling, itching or pain. At this time, you must go to the hospital for treatment, and surgical treatment is required if necessary.

Causes of soft bumps after wound healing

1. During the process of wound healing, the mandibular scar proliferates. First, an inflammatory reaction occurs, and then myofibroblasts appear in the wound, divide and proliferate to synthesize collagen fibers, causing collagen deposition to form scars.

2. If an infected wound becomes infected, on the one hand, the remaining epithelial cells are destroyed, causing the wound to deepen and the healing time to prolong; on the other hand, inflammatory factors stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, and repeated infections will cause abnormal proliferation of granulation tissue. Infiltration of inflammatory cells is a characteristic of granulation tissue. Infection increases the number of inflammatory cells. The more fibroblasts there are, the more likely scar hyperplasia will occur.

3. Local skin tension changes the direction of the scar and is inconsistent with the skin tension, leading to chronic traction, which is a factor in scar hyperplasia.

4. Adolescents are in puberty, their tissues are growing vigorously, their immune response is strong after trauma, their skin is tense, and they are prone to scar hyperplasia.

5. Pigmented people have more pigment cells in their skin, which can easily cause scars. The incidence of scars in blacks is about twice that of whites, and the incidence of burn scars in my country is also quite high.

6. If people with a constitution prone to surgical scars undergo surgical resection, it will stimulate fibroblasts, causing repeated scar proliferation. Therefore, if you have a constitution prone to scars, surgical resection should be strictly prohibited.

7. Other foreign body stimulation can also cause scar hyperplasia. Common foreign bodies include dust, talcum powder, cotton fibers, thread knots, etc. These are all due to the fact that the anabolism of collagen continues abnormally, exceeding the rate of catabolism, forming collagen fibers over a considerable period of time.

Scar removal tips

Method 1:

Massage the scar with the base of your palm, three times a day, each time for 5-10 minutes. This method is most effective for wounds that have just shed scabs, but is less effective for old scars.

Method 2:

Ginger friction method: Slice ginger and gently rub the scar to inhibit the continued growth of granulation tissue.

Method 3:

Vitamin (A or C) application method: Vitamins can penetrate into the skin and exert their moisturizing effect. At the same time, vitamin E can also maintain skin elasticity. But you may not be familiar with the scar removal effect of vitamin E. Poke a hole in the vitamin E capsule with a needle, take out the liquid inside and apply it on the scar and gently massage for 5-10 minutes, twice a day. You will see better results if you persist.

Notes: 1. Normal diet and rest - It is best to eat light food and avoid spicy food before the scar heals; rest regularly to reduce pressure on the scar. 2. Do not irradiate the scar area, take good protection, and insist on using scar removal products no matter how to remove the scar.
