Scars are an inevitable product of wound healing. Although they represent the body's strong self-healing ability, they also become a stumbling block to beauty and confidence. Especially when scars become hypertrophic, it is not just a matter of affecting appearance, but may also be accompanied by discomfort symptoms such as pain and itching, and in severe cases, it may even affect joint function. So, how can we prevent the problem of scar hyperplasia?
Keep the wound clean
Reducing the risk of wound infection is the key to preventing scar hyperplasia. Once the wound is infected, it not only prolongs the healing cycle, but also triggers abnormal proliferation of scar tissue, affecting skin healing. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly and scientifically clean the wound to reduce the occurrence of inflammatory reactions around it, in order to effectively promote the smooth recovery of the wound and reduce the risk of scar hyperplasia.
Avoid excessive tension
Excessive tension may lead to tissue expansion, in other words, tension sends a signal to the wound site to strengthen the skin in that area to resist further damage, but this excessive repair response leads to scar hyperplasia. Therefore, during the process of wound healing, vigorous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and other actions should be avoided. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing and shoes to reduce friction on the wound area.
Professional drug intervention
Silicon gel is widely used to prevent scar hyperplasia. It can reduce the risk of hyperplasia by reducing the water loss in the scar area, improving blood circulation and reducing tension. Therefore, scar gel dressing, scar care film and other products can be used under the guidance of doctors when the wound healing enters the scab forming period.
