The color of scars gradually deepens, which is mainly due to pigmentation. There may also be problems with scar hyperplasia. In addition, if the scar area is exposed to direct sunlight, it may cause this phenomenon. Therefore, when the scar color becomes darker, you must emphasize care and can use certain methods to treat it. Of course, some scars have just appeared, and this phenomenon is a good phenomenon. This is the scar reaction period.

What to do if the scar is dark in color

The darkening of scar color is a scar reaction period, which is not a bad phenomenon. The scar will first gradually become darker in color and harder in texture, and then will slowly improve after a period of time. It is a scar reaction process. You can use scar ointment to promote scar recovery. Silicone gel films can also be used to inhibit and slow down this process. Please note that you need to take the medicine for about half a year and pay attention to sun protection.

The main ingredient of scar patch (made of silicone gel film) is polydimethylhydrogensiloxane (containing hydrogen silicone oil), which is an external medicine indicated for the treatment of keloids. Effects: 1. Treat healed hypertrophic scars and keloids. 2. Use only on intact skin. 3. Covering hypertrophic scars and keloids can reduce the area and lighten the color of scars caused by burns, trauma, and surgery.

Its contraindications are: use with caution in those with a history of skin allergy to silicone rubber; and prohibit use in those with unhealed wounds.

Things to note are:

1. It should be used after the wound is completely healed. If used for postoperative wounds, it is generally used 1 to 2 weeks after the stitches are removed. 2. Do not use on wounds that have not yet healed completely or are infected, or on skin with damage or acne. 3. Do not use with other preparations such as ointments. 4. If applied to unclean skin or too tightly, it may cause rashes. In this case, you should reduce the sticking time. If the rash persists, stop using it and consult a doctor.

The above article not only tells you that scar patches can be used to inhibit and slow down the darkening of scars. I also briefly introduced the efficacy, contraindications and precautions of scar stickers, hoping it can help everyone. Finally, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to sun protection when using scar stickers, and only by persisting in using the medication can it be effective.
