How to avoid scars on wounds

In life, there are often some accidental injuries that leave scars on the body. If you do not get timely and effective care, these scars may accompany you for life. Therefore, if you want to avoid scars, you must pay attention to the correct cleaning and disinfection of the wound, and be sure to avoid local infection.

1. See a doctor promptly to clean, disinfect, suture or bandage the wound.

2. 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. However, cleaning the wound carefully is the most basic step to avoid scarring and promote wound healing.

3. If dust, coal ash and other debris are embedded in the skin after trauma, if they are not cleaned properly, the colored particles will remain in the skin and form unsightly dust stains.

4. Disinfection is to prevent infection, which is also the key to avoiding local scars. The infection can cause damage to the lower layer of the dermis and the epidermis cannot regenerate, so the defects have to be filled by the proliferation of granulation tissue, which will inevitably leave scars.

5. Boils, pustules, etc. should be treated scientifically by a doctor as soon as possible, and should never be squeezed by hand. To prevent inflammation from spreading deeper.

6. After being scalded, rinse immediately with plenty of clean cold water to reduce high temperature damage to deep tissues.

7. Do not use iodine to disinfect facial wounds, otherwise it will cause pigmentation.
