How to avoid scars after ear stitches

In daily life, stitches are often needed due to some injuries, and stitches can promote wound healing very well. However, it is inevitable that scars will be left after stitches. If the location is not obvious, the scar will not be easy to detect, but if stitches are done on the ear, the scar will be very obvious. So, how to avoid scars after ear stitches? Let’s take a closer look below.

The scars left after stitches are a big worry for us. If you want to recover quickly after stitches and leave no scars, the first and most important thing is to go to a regular hospital for sutures or bandaging as soon as possible after the injury. Otherwise, the wound may become infected due to irregular treatment, which can have very serious consequences! When receiving treatment, be sure to clean the wound carefully according to the doctor's instructions. If dust invades due to improper cleaning, it will stain the skin with dust and be very ugly.

The next very important step is to carry out thorough disinfection. Foreign objects around the wound will not only prevent the wound from healing quickly, but also leave scars. The second thing to note is that during the wound recovery stage, you should avoid smoking, drinking and spicy food, otherwise it will affect the rapid healing of the wound. The faster a wound heals, the lower the likelihood of scarring, and vice versa. Therefore, if you want to avoid leaving scars, you must promote rapid healing of the wound.

After a series of basic treatments, the wound will naturally form a scab. At this time, we must be careful not to peel it off forcibly, but wait for it to fall off by itself. Do not use scar removal drugs casually during this stage, but you can use disinfectant for disinfection. Remember to avoid contact with water as much as possible and keep the wound clean, otherwise it will easily cause local infection and inflammation, preventing the wound from healing quickly.

Aloe vera is very helpful for wound healing. Its leaves contain a large amount of sticky liquid. These sticky liquids contain a lot of organic matter, which can promote the rapid generation of cells. Aloe vera also has a very great cosmetic effect. It can not only speed up wound healing, but also prevent the appearance of scars. The amino acids, vitamins and other elements contained in honey have a great promoting effect on wound recovery. During the wound healing stage, it is very necessary to apply aloe vera or honey to the affected area.

Promoting wound healing cannot just stay on the outside, but must be combined with internal adjustments. Then we have to mention some foods that can promote wound healing. Among meat foods, beef and pig's trotters are most beneficial for wound healing. Beef contains a lot of protein and amino acids, and not much fat, making it perfect for patients with three highs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pig's trotters are very good medicinal materials. They contain a lot of collagen, have beauty effects, and have a very good effect on wound healing.

When taking dietary supplements, you cannot just eat meat. The vitamins contained in some fruits and vegetables play a very important role in the rapid healing of wounds. Bitter melon contains a lot of nutrients such as vitamin B1, insulin, protein, etc., which is very suitable for patients to eat. In addition, bitter melon also has great medicinal value, such as nourishing the kidney and spleen, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. The lycopene contained in tomatoes has a unique antioxidant effect, which can slow down pigmentation and delay aging, and has a very great beauty effect.

Additionally, it is important to note that some foods are very unfavorable during the wound healing phase. For example: beef, mutton, dog meat, seafood, wine, onion, ginger, garlic, etc. are very unfavorable to wound healing. When the wound has healed and the scab has just fallen off, we can gently massage the affected area with ginger slices. Ginger is warm in nature and can promote blood circulation, accelerate the rapid growth of new cells, prevent the growth of granulation tissue, and prevent the formation of scars to a great extent.
