How long can you take a bath after scar surgery

   Trauma or wounds left by surgery, after suture treatment, the beauty seekers will ask this question; first of all; the incision on the skin of the body should not be wetted with water before the seam is removed in principle, nor sweated excessively.


Because the wound is not completely healed before the stitches are removed, the surface skin barrier has not been fully established, bacteria are likely to enter the body through the unhealed wound and cause infection, and the water contains a lot of bacteria, and water staining undoubtedly increases the risk of infection; on the other hand, the wound There are a lot of tissues, cytokines, and enzymes involved in healing. Water disrupts the osmotic pressure and pH around the cells in the wound, damages damaged cells, and directly interferes with the tissue repair process.


  Secondly; the later stage of wound repair is mainly epithelialization, which requires a relatively dry environment. Of course, for patients with topical glue, because the glue has a certain waterproof effect, you can bathe 3-5 days after the operation, but do not soak for a long time, and do not apply soap or bath liquid on the protective film.
