What to do if a wound heals and then bulges out

In daily life, when people do housework, it is inevitable that some part of the body may be injured. Some wounds are relatively small and heal very easily, while some wounds are larger and can only be carefully cared for. Whenever there is a wound on the body, a scab will form first when the skin heals. When the wound heals and the scab forms, a bulge will form. What should you do if the wound heals and the bulge forms? Let's find out what you should pay attention to when the wound has a scab.

1. What should you pay attention to when you have scabs?

Scabbing of wounds is a normal physiological reaction of the body, but this physiological reaction does not necessarily help wound healing. Some may even become a "helper" of wound ulcers. For some wounds without inflammation and with relatively mild wounds, scabs will form normally due to physiological reactions. This scab has a certain protective effect on the wound and prevents wound infection. At the same time, the anaerobic environment is more conducive to accelerating the speed of wound healing, which is more conducive to wound healing. However, for some wounds that have already developed inflammation or even ulcers (such as patients with bedsores), once the wound has scabbed over, if the inflammation under the scab is not treated in time, especially in an anaerobic environment, it is easy to cause the ulcer to worsen rapidly, and the patient will experience symptoms of wound suppuration. In some patients, the ulcer may develop to the bone within a week. Therefore, for inflammatory wounds, once scabs appear on the wounds, they need to be cleaned in time to avoid serious ulcers. It can be seen that wound scabs are not necessarily beneficial to wound healing. Clinically, we should still have a correct understanding of wound scabs and adopt the correct treatment methods. For some scabby wounds with inflammation or suppuration, it is necessary to clean the scabs in time, clean and disinfect the wounds, rinse the wounds with iodine, and then wash them with saline. If the wound is more serious, Yu’s wound healing prescription should be used for treatment. In short, we must have a correct understanding of the wound and deal with it actively, so that you can recover soon and avoid treatment misunderstandings.

2. How to avoid scarring after scabbing

First of all, you have to rule out the possibility that you do not have a scar-causing constitution. Also, if the wound is very light and not easy to see, you can take VC orally and apply vitamin E. Vitamin E has a relatively powerful effect on the treatment of scars. If it is a relatively large scar, do not touch the wound too much, as this may stimulate the active proliferation of skin granulation tissue. In addition, do not eat foods with a lot of pigments. You can apply aloe vera gel or use scar stickers to reduce the proliferation of granulation tissue.

Scar is a general term for the appearance morphology and histopathological changes of normal skin tissue caused by various traumas. It is an inevitable product of the human body's trauma repair process. Suggestions: First of all, you must not have a scar-prone physique, otherwise all the talk will be in vain. It is impossible for there to be no scars, but if they heal, they will be lighter and not easy to see. First of all, you must pay attention to nutrition, and then do not excessively disinfect the wound, otherwise it will stimulate the active proliferation of granulation tissue. However, you must keep the wound dry to avoid infection, and do not eat foods with ingredients with a lot of pigments. You can apply aloe vera. In terms of diet, irritating foods such as alcohol, chili, mutton, raw garlic, ginger, mustard, coffee, etc. can also promote scar growth. If you take medicines containing lead or mercury, it will promote pigmentation; sun protection should not be ignored. Especially in midsummer, the sun is hot and abundant, and the new skin is tender and can hardly resist the radiation of ultraviolet rays in the sun, so it is easy to form pigmentation; cosmetics, soap, etc. should not come into contact with wounds.
