Burns are still red after one month

If the burn is still red one month later, it is mainly due to the formation of scars. Because the scabs fall off after the burns, red marks appear. We can use scar removal cream to remove the scars, but we should pay attention to skin hygiene to avoid infection. As for how to deal with the red area after a burn, we can learn the following content and correctly treat the burn wound.

How to take care of the red marks after the scab falls off and they disappear naturally

Generally, do not do excessive processing if red marks appear after the scab falls off. Human skin has its own repair ability. If some irritating drugs are applied, it may cause scars, so you can let it repair naturally. However, the degree of repair also depends on the activity of the cells and the age of the patient.

Oral vitamin C

Patients with nodule shedding can consider taking an appropriate amount of vitamin C, because vitamin C has the effect of treating pigmentation and can help the scab scars fade.

Be mindful of your diet

In terms of diet, some irritating foods, such as wine, chili, lamb, raw garlic, ginger, mustard, coffee, etc., will promote the proliferation of scars. Eating foods containing lead and mercury, such as preserved eggs, can cause pigmentation. Sun protection cannot be ignored either. Cosmetics, or some medicines or soaps containing hormones or heavy metals should not come into direct contact with wounds, because they may contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury and photosensitive substances that will stimulate skin pigmentation. Therefore, patients must pay attention to their diet after scabbing.

Take a warm bath

After the scab falls off, you can use warm or cold water when washing your face or taking a bath, or you can use a mild and non-irritating facial cleanser. Remember not to use hot water, because overheated water will stimulate scar hyperplasia.

Ice treatment

After the scab falls off, the wound will feel slight tingling and itching. At this time, you can apply ice to relieve the itching. Remember not to scratch it with your hands or apply anti-itching drugs to prevent stimulating the growth of scars.

What should you pay attention to after the scab falls off?

1. Avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol for three to six months. As mentioned before, if your scars are always in the proliferative stage, then of course they will last longer, and in extreme cases, it will probably last a lifetime.

2. Seafood: Try it. If there is no abnormal reaction after eating it, then you can continue to eat it with confidence.

3. Wash your face and take a bath. You can use cool or warm water, or a mild, non-irritating facial cleanser. Avoid washing with hot water. Heat stimulation causes proliferation!

4. Avoid electrotherapy, laser, ultrasonic drug introduction and other operations, as they will produce thermal stimulation.

5. When using Feilin Beauty Restorative Essential Oil, you can massage gently, but do not massage vigorously for a long time. The principle is the same, heat stimulates proliferation.

6. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen again!

7. Do not let your face face the computer without protection, especially non-LCD monitor.

8. Eat more kelp. Alkaline foods can help prevent hyperplasia.

9. You can swim.

10. Since this is the case, it’s better not to wear makeup.

11. Don't use things like ginger, green onion, L-vitamin C, pearl powder, etc. that are said to reduce pigmentation. Also, don't apply facial masks, as these things are too irritating. The primary task at this stage is to prevent proliferation. Wait until the redness fades before considering beautification. If you want to whiten your skin, you’d better eat more fruits. (To be honest, I personally think that pearl powder is too irritating even on healthy skin, let alone scars).

12. Normally, scars at this stage will become wider, larger and gradually flatten (except for hyperplasia), which is caused by skin tension. Many scars that are removed through surgery will gradually become wider after a few years or even months, and people will then consider the operation a failure. In addition to the factors of the surgical site, the problem is that no tension-relieving measures were taken after the operation. This is more critical than the suturing technique in resection surgery. Therefore, if your doctor asks you to use a needle-free suture device or elastic sleeve, you must strictly comply with it for three to six months, more than 23 hours a day. (I guess not many people can do this)

13. Scar enemy, beautiful skin care. Scar patches and other patch products cannot reduce skin tension, and scars will still become wider if you use them alone.

14. If you feel stinging or itchy on the scar, you can apply cold compress.
