How to care for cesarean section scar defects

After a cesarean section, the mother will be left with a cesarean section scar, which is generally white or grayish white and has a relatively hard texture. As the mother's body gradually adjusts, the surgical incision will generally begin to scab over in 2 to 3 weeks. When scabbing, the scar will show a certain degree of proliferation. At this time, you must pay attention to conditioning and provide timely care to avoid scar hyperplasia, inflammation and other conditions.

Scar care

After a long-term investigation, it was found that some women do not pay attention to scar care, and special precautions are given to female friends:

1. Do not remove the scab from the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcibly will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound;

2. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet rays from stimulating pigmentation;

3. Apply some topical medications such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

4. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism. Avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers, onions, garlic, etc.

5. If you want scars to disappear completely and restore your skin to its original appearance, you need to use scar removal products to achieve ideal results.

6. Keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or use water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

Precautions

1. The treatment area should not be exposed to water or rubbed on the day of treatment, and no medicine or ointment should be applied on your own.

2. After the operation, you can use an appropriate amount of repair factor to speed up the repair process, and avoid direct sunlight exposure, otherwise pigmentation is likely to occur.

3. During the treatment, it is recommended to use skin care products and repair masks containing sufficient moisture to replenish skin moisture in time to improve the efficacy, and sun protection is recommended.

4. The formed scab will generally fall off naturally in 5-10 days. It is strictly forbidden to tear it by hand.

5. During the treatment, avoid eating spicy and light-sensitive foods, such as peppers, beef, mutton, fish, shrimp, seafood, celery, coriander, white radish, mango, etc. Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamin C, E and essential amino acids for the human body to promote blood circulation and improve the metabolic function of epidermal cells.

6. Stop exposure to high temperatures (sunbathing, steam baths) or extremely cold environments during treatment.

7. Treatment requires multiple times, and each time is charged according to regulations, with follow-up visits every 1-3 months.

8. Excessive friction and activity should be avoided. Generally, the surface structure and function of scars are not perfect enough, and the epidermis is easily damaged. Some incorrect practices can easily cause damage.
