The key to preventing scarring after trauma is to take appropriate measures, including washing the wound, disinfecting it, avoiding infection, keeping the wound dry, and eating and drinking.
Cleaning the wound: Washing the wound carefully is the most basic step to avoid scarring and promote wound healing. Cleaning the wound can remove impurities such as dust and soot, and avoid colored particles remaining in the ** and forming unsightly scars.
Disinfection: Disinfection is done to prevent infection, which is also key to avoiding local scarring. When the scab of the wound does not fall off, tearing off the scab in advance will cause pigmentation to leave scars, and even cause secondary infection, and the scab should be allowed to fall off naturally.
Avoid infection: Infection can damage the dermis, making it difficult for the epidermis to regenerate, making scarring easier to form. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital to see a medical professional to treat the wound after an injury.
Keep the wound dry: It is very important to keep the wound dry during the wound healing process. Avoid exposing the wound to water or other contaminants to prevent infection and scarring.
Dietary attention: In the diet, you should avoid eating irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, chili, mutton, coffee, etc., which can easily cause itching and scar hyperplasia. At the same time, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and high-protein foods, which can promote early recovery from injuries**.
Avoid scratching, hot ironing, and scrubbing wounds: these actions may irritate the wound and lead to infection and scarring.
Use of medications: Under the guidance of a doctor, some medications can be used to reduce and prevent the formation of scars, such as silicone gels, onion extracts, etc.
Overall, the key to preventing scarring is to take care of the wound, prevent infection, keep the wound dry, eat and drink well and avoid actions that irritate the wound. Under the guidance of a doctor, a number of medications can be used to lighten and prevent the formation of scars.
