What to do with scars after trauma suture

If you accidentally get injured in your daily life, if the wound is large, it needs to be sutured in time. Scars will inevitably form after suturing, and this scar will become larger. At this time, you must strengthen your diet after suturing, do not eat spicy and irritating foods, do not drink alcohol, and avoid causing adverse stimulation to the skin again. In addition, you must pay attention to sun protection and do not eat foods containing pigments.

What to do with scars after trauma suture

1. Stitches are necessary because the wound needs to heal. After the stitches are removed, post-stitch treatment is required. This is the best time to treat stitch scars. The earlier you treat stitch scars, the better the effect will be, the lower the cost and the more significant the effect will be.

If you delay for longer, the chance of scarring will increase several times and the cost will be high.

2. If you do not have a scar-prone skin, you can apply some ointments that can inhibit scar growth, which are available in hospitals and pharmacies. If you have a scar-prone constitution, then you should never touch these things to avoid stimulating the growth of scars.

After the treatment, the scars are gone and the skin is perfect. If you have time, you can come to the Beijing Armed Police Corps Hospital to observe the treatment effects of other patients and continue treatment if you are satisfied.

Things to note after stitches are removed:

1. In the next few months after stitches, you should protect yourself from the sun and eat less foods containing pigments.

2. Continue to bandage the wound for a few days after removing the stitches. Do not scratch the wound to allow the scab to fall off naturally.

3. Remove the stitches as soon as possible, preferably within five days, to avoid leaving obvious needle marks.

4. You can use tension-reducing tape to prevent the proliferation of scar tissue.

5. After the stitches are removed or the wound has initially healed, massage therapy and compression therapy may be performed as appropriate.

Warm reminder: Proper care of stitch scars can help patients recover faster, but if the wound worsens, patients should seek timely treatment to prevent the wound from becoming more serious.
