Scar treatment after child fall

In the outpatient clinic, many parents came to consult with the children who had accidentally wounded the wound and just removed the thread. I hope that I can not stay in the future, so what is the truth?


First of all, as long as the dermis is damaged, even deeper, it will definitely stay, the surgery can only be improved, the scar must exist, but it can be as obvious as possible.


Second, what kind of injury will not stay? The skin is scratched, no matter how large the area, as long as there is no infection, no damage to the dermis layer, even if the early black suede is difficult to see, please rest assured, this will not leave . However, if you are not properly cared for, if you are exposed to the sun without growing a new skin, there is a risk of leaving pigmentation. Including nail scratches and pencil scratches, even if the toxin-containing object is only damaged by the epidermis, the remaining pigment will hardly subside and will take years or even longer.


Third, how should we care for scars?


1. There is a tissue defect at the time of injury, and there is tension in the suture. After the suture removal, the 3M tape must be reduced and fixed for 3-6 months to prevent the scar from widening.


2, scar healing when the healing is obvious, red and itchy, in such cases, children must be taboo, any spicy stimulation (alcoholic, etc.) can not touch things. Topical application of Kangruibao, cumin and other softening scars can be applied locally to soften and relieve itching. Silicone gel such as gram and gold gram can also be used to inhibit scar hyperplasia. It is necessary to prevent the child from scratching the scar by hand, which will make the scar hyperplasia more obvious.


3, the surface of the scar, encounter such scars, if it is recommended for the limbs of the use of compression therapy, inside the silicone film (Mei leather care, Xianka, scar enemy, etc.) external custom elastic pants local pressure bandage, pressure Close the blood vessels in the scar, half a year to a year or so, the effect is better than laser or drug, and economic.


4, for children with a history of scar constitution, keloids can occur, depending on the situation, hormones can be used to inject drugs, but cytotoxic drugs (5-fu 5 fluorouracil) are avoided.


5, the most important thing is that parents must have patience, the above drugs for the healing of good scars (no infection, no hyperplasia, no itching) is completely unnecessary, any scars are proliferated within 3-6 months During the period, it will be red and hard, but as soon as this period of time, it will naturally become white and soft. No matter what kind of medicine is used, it will only speed up the process. In the short term, the scar will fade faster. In the long run, the final effect does not make a fundamental difference because it is not used or used. Therefore, parents are advised to use it as appropriate. After looking at it, I will not use it for the outpatient platoon.
