Hello everyone, today Dr. Jin will talk to you about the problem of scar management. First of all, we want to make a clear principle: for those scars that affect the movement and joint function, we really need to deal with them as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out anti-scarring** to reduce the impact on function. However, for those small scars that do not affect motor function, we can simply protect ourselves from the sun, use silicone gel, and apply a tension reducer or tension reduction tape. After 6 months, the scar has stabilized and we can use either laser or surgery**.
So, do all scars need to be treated early?This is not the case. Some scars may look noticeable in the early stages, but will gradually become less noticeable over time and with our ** (e.g. using silicone gel, applying a tension reducer or tape, etc.). Also, some scars may not affect movement or joint movement in the early stages, so we don't need to rush to deal with them.
So, when is the best time to deal with scars?In fact, this timing is not fixed, but should be decided according to the specific situation of each person. Generally speaking, about 6 months to 1 year after the scar is formed, it is a good time to deal with the scar. This is because during this period, the scar is already relatively stable and will not be as susceptible to external stimuli as it was in the early days. At the same time, this period is also the best time for us to have a laser or surgery**.
When it comes to scar management, we need to choose the right method. Generally speaking, for those scars that are more obvious, we can use laser** or surgical excision. Laser** can also be used in the early stages after scar formation, however, it should be noted that laser** is a technology that requires a high level of technical requirements from doctors. If the doctor's technique is not up to the mark, it may cause more visible scarring or other problems. Therefore, when performing laser**, we need to choose a skilled and experienced doctor to perform it**.
In short, we don't have to deal with scars as early as possible. We need to decide when and how to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. At the same time, we need to pay attention to sun protection, use silicone gel, apply a tension reducer or decompression tape and other methods to prevent and ** scarring. If a laser or surgery is required**, we need to choose a skilled doctor to do it**.
