Post-burn scar hyperplasia

Burns are a relatively serious injury and are a type of injury that many people will suffer from. Scar hyperplasia is very common after a burn. The period during which scars grow is called the scar hyperplasia period. The duration of the scar hyperplasia period depends on the victim's physical condition and the specific circumstances of the burn, and is generally 3 to 6 months. Next, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about scar hyperplasia!

1. How long does the scar hyperplasia period last?

The duration of scar hyperplasia depends on many factors. It usually takes 3-6 months for wound healing to reach final stability, which is the hyperplasia period of scar, which is 3-6 months. The specific length depends on the patient's specific situation.

According to clinical trials conducted by experts, the growth of scar hyperplasia is mainly related to a person's physique and varies according to age groups. Generally speaking, scar growth time is longer in young people than in the elderly. The scar proliferation time produced by scars in different parts of the body is also different. For example, the scar proliferation time in areas with more blood supply is longer than that in other places. Some friends are in the scar hyperplasia period, but they do not pay attention to it, which will constantly stimulate the growth of scar tissue at the scar site and prolong the scar hyperplasia period.

2. Harm of scar hyperplasia

Although hypertrophic scars can be more than 2 cm thick, they are not tightly adhered to deep tissues and can be pushed. They generally have a clear boundary with the surrounding normal skin. The contractility of hypertrophic scars is smaller than that of contracture scars. Therefore, hypertrophic scars occurring in non-functional parts generally do not cause serious functional impairment, while large hypertrophic scars in joints, due to their thick and hard splinting effect, hinder joint movement and cause functional impairment. Hypertrophic scars located on the flexion surface of the joint may shrink significantly in the late stage, resulting in obvious functional disorders such as jaw-neck adhesion.

3. Treatment methods for scar hyperplasia

Pure physics of traditional Chinese medicine: Use the pure physics methods of traditional Chinese medicine to eliminate the tissue inside the scar, soften the scar tissue and make it disappear, achieve the effect of natural repair, adjust blood circulation, speed up metabolism, and promote the repair of cell tissue.

Apply scar patches or scar cream: The main ingredients of scar patches and scar cream are both silicone, but the shapes of the products are different. They are usually used one week after the stitches are removed from the wound to prevent the formation or proliferation of scars. Using scar patches also has the effect of pressure treatment, but the disadvantage is that it is not very effective in inhibiting scar proliferation.
