Traumatic scars on face

When people take care of their skin, they usually do it on their faces. This is enough to show how much everyone cares about the skin around their eyes. If the face is injured, you must be very careful not to leave scars on the wound. However, accidents are inevitable in daily life, and some people suffer skin injuries on their faces. So if there is skin trauma on the face, how can we take care of it so that it won't leave scars?

How can I avoid scars when I have a wound on my face?

1. Provide anti-inflammatory and anti-infection care when you are injured in the early stages, and avoid touching the wound frequently with your hands. In the past few days, eat less oil, less salt, and less heavy-tasting and dark-colored foods. Do a good job of sun protection on your face, as well as daily repair work to protect the skin of injured areas and reduce secondary damage.

2. If you have wounds on your face, you can apply recombinant bovine cell growth factor on the affected area to reduce pigmentation and repair cells. This can reduce the formation of scars. Eating more foods with high VC content can also help lighten pigmentation.

3. Pay attention to your daily life, avoid spicy, irritating and greasy food, eat less meat and more vegetables, avoid exposing your skin to the sun, eat more easily digestible food, vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, and apply topical ointment to remove scars.

How to remove scars if they remain?

1. Massage method. Rub the scar with the base of your palm, three times a day, each time for 5-10 minutes. It is most effective for wounds that have just shed scabs, but less effective for old scars.

2. Ginger friction method. Gently rubbing the scar with sliced ​​ginger can inhibit the further growth of granulation tissue.

3. Vitamin E application method. Vitamin E can penetrate into the skin to play its moisturizing effect. At the same time, vitamin E can also maintain skin elasticity. Poke a hole in the vitamin E capsule with a needle, take out the liquid inside and apply it on the scar and gently massage for 5-10 minutes, twice a day. You will see better results if you persist.

4. Vitamin C application method. Vitamin C has a whitening effect. Apply vitamin C to darker scars to whiten them and make them consistent with the tone of the surrounding healthy skin.

5. Lavender essential oil application method. The effect of lavender essential oil in reducing scars is also widely recognized. However, lavender essential oil is not very effective for new scars or scars that are more than 8 years old. It is more effective for scars that are one to two years old.

If you want to avoid scars after a facial injury, the most important thing is to do a good job of initial debridement and anti-infection to promote early healing of the wound. You must pay attention to a light diet, avoid eating foods with dark pigments, and it is best to eat less condiments. After the wound heals, you can apply some vitamin-rich substances to promote the disappearance of scars.
