Can burn scars be healed?

When using fire and electricity, everyone must pay attention to fire and electricity safety. Otherwise, if it causes a short circuit or fire, it will easily cause burn accidents to people indoors. After a burn accident occurs, burn scars will occur due to the high temperature that the skin is exposed to. Scars caused by burns look scarier than other scars, so can burn scars be healed by some means?

Burn scars can be repaired, but the possibility of completely returning to the state before the burn is almost zero. All we can do is repair the scars from the burns as much as possible, and this kind of repair cannot be completed overnight.

After an accidental burn, the affected area must be treated correctly to facilitate future recovery of the wound and prevent the scar from reaching the extent that requires surgical repair. Every step in the treatment process, including careful cleaning, disinfection and bandaging, is very important. Don’t think that only severe burns require hospital treatment. Even minor burns can cause unsightly permanent scars if not properly treated. But if the wound is treated properly, the recovery will be very ideal.

The unstable period of scars after burns begins after the scab forms and falls off on the wound. This unstable period can last for 3 to 6 months, and eventually reaches the stable period to form scars. During these 3 to 6 months, patients should take good care of themselves and consult a doctor for non-surgical treatment of the affected area. You can apply some scar softening medicine to the affected area, and perform local pressure therapy. If the early scar prevention work is handled well, the scar will not look so obvious after recovery.

If the scar is very ugly and obvious after the maturity period, surgical repair is usually required. At present, there is no method to completely recover scars from burns. The specific recovery plan should be determined after a face-to-face consultation with a doctor in the hospital.
