Prevention of hypertrophic scar with elastic compression sleeve

First, pay attention to skin hygiene. When the burn wound is just healed, there are still a small amount of secretions and drug scabs. Bacteria are easy to proliferate rapidly. In addition, the epidermis is is thin and tender, and the structure and function are not perfect, which is easy to cause infection and ulceration. During this period, neutral detergent can be used for cleaning, and anti scar drugs can be used after cleaning.

Second: avoid excessive friction and excessive activity. Because of the imperfect structure and function of scar epidermis, the epidermis is easy to be damaged, and some improper treatment may aggravate the damage. In the application of anti scar drugs, it is not appropriate to massage too hard or too long, which will cause the separation of the epidermis and the fibreboard layer to form blisters or blood blisters. Excessive movement of the joint will also lead to the loosening and separation of the epidermis and blisters.

Third: early prevention. The formation process of burn scar can be roughly divided into proliferative phase, stable phase and regression phase. The duration of proliferative phase varies from 3 months to 2 years, most of which are about half a year. However, due to a variety of reasons, such as ulcer, pain, impatience or improper methods, some patients often can not adhere to scar rehabilitation treatment, resulting in scar hyperplasia and contracture.

For such a disease: This refers to a kind of scar on the superficial layer of the skin, which is caused by mild skin abrasion or superficial burn (superficial dermis). Its appearance is slightly different from that of normal skin, with rough surface or pigment changes, generally without dysfunction. As time goes on, the scar will gradually become less obvious, so this kind of scar generally does not need to be treated.
