Can scars after burns be cured? What should I pay attention to during treatment?

In the past, if the skin surface was burned, scars would inevitably be left. Especially for scars caused by burns on the face, they were almost fatal to the patients. But now with the changes in medical cosmetic methods, scar treatment methods are becoming more and more advanced, so scars caused by burns may also be able to be cured.

1. Can scars after burns be cured?

Scars after burns can be healed. Scar removal methods such as laser, surgical excision, skin grafting, injection, skin expander, etc. can activate subcutaneous collagen tissue, have ideal repair effect, are safe, have no side effects, and take effect quickly. It can treat burn scars without leaving scars, is gentle and non-irritating, and is suitable for most types of scar diseases.

2. What should you pay attention to when treating burn scars?

1. Pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene. When a burn wound is just healing, there is still a small amount of secretion and scab, which makes it easy for bacteria to multiply quickly. In addition, the epidermis is thin and tender, and its structure and function are not perfect, making it easy for infection and ulceration to occur. During this period, you can use a neutral detergent to clean it, and then use anti-scar drugs and other treatments after cleaning.

2. Avoid excessive friction and excessive activity. Due to the imperfect structure and function of the scar epidermis, the epidermis is more susceptible to damage, and some inappropriate treatments may aggravate the damage. When applying anti-scar drugs, you should avoid massaging with excessive force or for too long, as this will cause the epidermis to separate from the fibrous plate layer and form blisters or blood blisters. Excessive movement of the joints will also cause the epidermis to loosen and separate, resulting in blisters.

3. After a burn in the lower limbs, it is not advisable to get up and move around too early. Because the scar epidermis is weak and the underlying vascular structure and function are imperfect and cannot resist the internal pressure of gravity, the wound surface of the lower limbs will turn purple or even bleed due to ruptured capillaries when standing, which will aggravate scar hyperplasia.

3. What are the products for scar repair after burns?

First of all, for small burns, you can immediately apply toothpaste to the burned area, or apply chloramphenicol eye ointment. Ointment and chloramphenicol eye ointment both have good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. They can relieve pain and inhibit the formation of blisters. They can also make the blisters that have already formed disappear on their own. They are not prone to infection and can repair small scars.

Secondly, for small burn scars, you can apply soy sauce, honey or aloe vera gel on the scars. These substances can reduce inflammation of the skin and promote self-absorption of tissue fluid produced when the skin is burned. It can also promote cell metabolism, accelerate cell division, soften the stratum corneum and remove bad skin.

Finally, for large areas or already formed burn scars, you can choose laser skin resurfacing to treat burn scars. Laser skin resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to polish the skin, remove necrotic skin, and smooth out uneven skin. The disadvantage of this method is that if used improperly, it can easily cause new scars or uneven skin tone, so it should be chosen with caution.
