Frequently Asked Questions During Anti-Scar Treatment

During the scar treatment process, problems of one kind or another will arise. Here is a summary of several common problems. Let's take a look at them below.

1. What should I do if blisters appear?

Generally speaking, you don't need to worry too much about small blisters. Just keep your skin clean and avoid infection. However, if the blisters are large or accompanied by obvious pain, itching, and other symptoms, you should consult a doctor in time. Blisters are actually a common complication after wound healing and will reoccur. The cause of blisters is not infection, but the loose connection between the new epidermis and dermis. Once exercise or congestion occurs, blisters are likely to form.

At this time, you should stop using silicone drugs and silicone patches, and continue using them after you get better.

2. What should I do if eczema occurs?

Eczema sometimes occurs during scar treatment. This may be caused by the skin being too sensitive or using it for too long. It is common to cause eczema, especially in pediatric patients. When the weather is hot, avoid prolonged use and use scar patches at night and silicone gel during the day.

If eczema occurs, the frequency of use should be adjusted.

For mild eczema, local wet compresses and moisturizing creams can be used to relieve symptoms. However, if the eczema is severe or accompanied by obvious itching, pain, and other symptoms, you should consult a doctor in time.

Your doctor may recommend topical medications to relieve symptoms or change your treatment. In addition, in daily life, you should also pay attention to keeping your skin clean and avoid eating irritating foods.

3. What are the precautions for treating scars in children?

The treatment of scars in children has some special considerations compared with adults. First, children's skin is more delicate than adults, making them more susceptible to allergic reactions and irritation. The anti-scar treatment period for pediatric patients should be longer, more than 2 years is recommended, and because children have thin skin, they are more prone to eczema.

During the treatment process, treatment methods and methods suitable for children's skin should be selected. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, use drugs and equipment correctly to avoid excessive stimulation and infection.

In addition, the treatment of scars in children also requires attention to the influence of psychological factors. Children's self-awareness has not yet been fully formed, so they are more susceptible to psychological factors. During the scar treatment process, children should be given adequate care and support to help them build self-confidence and a positive attitude.
