Scars become red and swollen after surgery

The redness and swelling of scars after surgery may be caused by inflammatory infection, and it is not ruled out that it is caused by frequent scratching with hands. You need to apply scar removal ointment, or you can choose laser surgery to improve it.

1. Inflammatory infection: After the operation, if the local hygiene care function is not done well, it may cause inflammatory infection of the skin, accompanied by symptoms of redness and itching of the skin. It is necessary to apply erythromycin ointment locally to have an anti-inflammatory effect. After the inflammation subsides, you can also apply scar removal ointment to help relieve the symptoms, such as scar removal drugs.

2. Frequent scratching with hands: If the hygienist does not pay attention to the skin and often scratches with hands, it may cause redness in the scar area, accompanied by symptoms of scar hyperplasia. It is not ruled out that it is caused by scar-prone constitution, which will directly affect the individual's external appearance. You can choose fractional laser to improve it. Laser can produce a photothermal effect on the scar area and penetrate deep into the skin tissue. It has a smoothing effect and can help repair uneven symptoms and potential scars. It can also stimulate the body's collagen regeneration and help rearrange the fibrous tissue.

During the recovery period, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods that may affect skin recovery.
