What to do if the skin turns red after the scab falls off

When the skin is injured and bleeding occurs, it is important to stop the bleeding in time and provide anti-inflammatory care to avoid infection. No matter where the skin is injured, you should decide whether to see a doctor for suture treatment based on the severity of the injury. The wound will scab and heal quickly after being bandaged. However, the wound will turn red after the scab falls off. So what should you do if the skin turns red after the scab forms?

When the local scabs fall off, there will definitely be local skin redness and swelling, and capillary dilation and congestion in the early stage. This is a normal recovery period manifestation, which means that the skin has not fully recovered to normal. In this case, symptomatic treatment is also acceptable. Avoid frequent local stimulation to avoid scar formation and prevent local infection. Normally, no special treatment is needed, and a recovery process is required.

Scars are in the recovery period, but if you accidentally remove them and a pit appears, don't worry, you are now in the best period for treatment. First of all, you must pay attention.

1. Don't eat anything during the one and a half month recovery period. Don't eat spicy food, seafood, or foods that cause inflammation. Don't smoke or drink alcohol. I mean don't eat anything at all.

2. It is best to protect yourself from the sun when going out to avoid pigmentation, which will make treatment more troublesome.

3. Scars and pits all take time to heal. Don't use any scar cream, because the first thing to do is to solve the pit problem. Scar cream can only be used after the pit is healed. And you must read the instructions in detail before using it to see if it is suitable for use.
