Why are scars on the knees more likely to proliferate?

Scar hyperplasia, a skin problem, often troubles many people. It refers to the phenomenon that during the wound healing process, due to the excessive growth of fibrous tissue, the scar tissue is higher than the surrounding normal skin surface. Among the many parts of the human body, the knee joint is particularly prone to scar hyperplasia. So, what is the reason for this? Let's take a look.

Why are scars more likely to form on the knees?

The knee is an important joint in the human body, with a very high frequency of movement and relatively high skin tension. During daily activities such as walking, running, and jumping, the scar tissue on the knee is constantly rubbed and stretched. This continuous stimulation makes it easy for the scar tissue to overgrow and form hyperplasia.

How can we prevent this kind of problem?

It is recommended to use silicone gel scar dressing, which is a medical product specially used for scar management. It creates a moist, low-oxygen environment for scars by fitting to the scar surface, thereby helping to reduce scar hyperplasia.

Silicone gel scar dressings?

1. Maintain a moist environment: Silicone gel scar dressing can lock the moisture on the scar surface and maintain a moist environment. This moist environment helps to soften and smooth scar tissue and reduce hyperplasia.

2. Reduce oxygen content: Silicone gel scar dressing reduces the oxygen content of scar tissue by fitting to the scar surface. This low-oxygen environment helps inhibit the excessive proliferation of scar cells, thereby reducing scar formation.

3. Reduce friction and irritation: Silicone gel scar dressing has good elasticity and fit, which can reduce friction and stretch irritation on the knee. This helps reduce the risk of scar hyperplasia and promotes scar repair and recovery.

Keeping the wound clean and avoiding infection is the key to reducing scarring. At the same time, avoiding direct sunlight, using scar removal products, gently massaging scars, and maintaining a healthy diet can all help reduce scar hyperplasia. If the scar hyperplasia is severe and affects the appearance or function, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and seek help from a professional doctor for treatment.
