1. There is tissue defect and suture tension when injured. After suture removal, it must be fixed with tension-reducing seamless 3M adhesive tape for 3-6 months to prevent scar from expanding.
2. When the scar heals, it proliferates obviously, and it is red and itchy. In this case, children need to avoid eating, as well as any spicy (alcohol, etc. ) you can't touch it. Drugs such as Kangruibao and asiaticoside can be used externally to soften scars and relieve itching, and silica gel such as scar and golden scar can also be used externally to inhibit scar hyperplasia. It is necessary to prevent children from scratching itchy scars with their hands, which will make scar hyperplasia more obvious.
3. Scars protruding from the surface. If you encounter this kind of scar, limb compression therapy is recommended. Silicone tablets (Meipihu, Xianka, Scar Enemy, etc. ) Use customized elastic underwear to compress and bind the blood vessels at the scar. It takes about six months to a year, and the effect is better than that of laser or medicine, and it is economical.
4. For children with genetic history of scar constitution, if they have keloids, hormone drugs can be injected into the scars as appropriate, but cytotoxic drugs (5-fu 5 fluorouracil) should be avoided.
The most important thing is that parents must be patient. For scars that heal well (no infection, no hyperplasia, no itching), the above drugs are completely unnecessary. Any scar is a proliferative phase within 3-6 months, which will turn red and hard, but it will naturally turn white and soft after this time. No matter what medicine is used, it will only accelerate the process. In the short term, it seems that scars will fade faster. In the long run, the final effect will not be fundamentally different because it is useless or drugs are used. So please use it as appropriate. Take a look, and you won't have to wait in line at the clinic.
