What should I do if I have a scar constitution

People with scar-prone constitution will easily be left with scars after any physical injury, especially burns from water, fire or oil. The scars left behind are the most obvious. These people must pay attention to protecting themselves better in life to avoid injuries. At the same time, if there are wounds, they must be cleaned, disinfected and sutured in time.

1. People with scar-prone physique account for a very small proportion of the population, and the symptoms are manifested after the wound heals. The surface scar continues to grow, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes local pain, redness and itching. Scar contraction also affects functional movement. It causes great harm to both the body and the mind. Due to the limited current treatment level, it is impossible to achieve ideal treatment results, making many patients pessimistic and negative. It troubles a lot of people.

2. The proportion of people with scar-prone physique is extremely small in the population. The manifestation is that after the wound heals, the surface scar continues to increase, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes local pain, redness and itching. However, because there are not many people with a scar-prone constitution, many people mistakenly believe that people with keloids have a scar-prone constitution! People with a scar-prone constitution will definitely develop keloids, but people with keloids do not necessarily have a scar-prone constitution. Don’t get it wrong!

3. If you are accidentally scalded or burned by water, fire, oil, etc., if the area is not large, you can immediately take 1 part of white sugar and 3 parts of cold boiled water to make a concentrated sugar water, and use cotton wool or a clean small towel dipped in the sugar water to gently apply and press the injured area. If a finger or toe is injured, soak it immediately in sugar water for 20 minutes. If you don't have time to prepare sugar water, you can also grab some sugar and apply it to the wound, then drop cold water on the sugar to moisten the wound, and then wash it after 2 hours. If it has not healed yet, apply concentrated sugar water again. Using sugar water to treat burns will not cause blistering or scarring and is very effective. First remove the heat source and soak the limb in cool water until the pain disappears. You can also cover the injured area with a wet towel or sheet and spray cold water on it. Do not break any blisters.

4. If you have a wound, go to the hospital in time and have the doctor clean, disinfect, suture or bandage the wound. People often worry that cleaning the wound will waste time, cause more bleeding or make the wound bigger, or even refuse to clean it simply because they are afraid of pain. In fact, cleaning the wound carefully is the most basic step to avoid scars and promote wound healing. For example, if dust, coal ash or other debris is embedded in the skin after an injury, if it is not cleaned properly, the colored particles will remain in the skin and form unsightly dust stains. Disinfection is to prevent infection, which is also the key to avoiding local scars. Because infection can cause damage to the lower layer of the dermis and the epidermis cannot regenerate, the defects have to be filled by the proliferation of granulation tissue, which will inevitably leave scars.
