Can eat soy sauce scar blacken

There is no scientific basis for the saying that eating soy sauce will make the scar black. Soy sauce and other foods, after digestion to form amino acids, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, water and other substances that can be absorbed by the human body, the pigment substances in soy sauce will also be digested and decomposed, will not be directly transferred to the skin, so eating soy sauce will not make the wound scar black, other dark food will not.

At present, it can be determined that during the healing of the wound and the formation of new skin, the sun is easy to form melanin, which makes the scar more obvious. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid exposing the wound to the sun.

Soy sauce can be eaten, but sun protection must be done well. Of course, we also have dietary advice: during the recovery period, avoid spicy food, because they are easy to cause new scar hyperplasia problems.

matters needing attention

Why did my wound heal and leave a black mark? When there is inflammation in the skin, in order to resist the invasion of some microorganisms such as bacteria, our body will release some inflammatory mediators locally to activate the local immune response. These inflammatory mediators can stimulate melanocytes and lead to local pigmentation. Therefore, even if we do not eat soy sauce at all, if the wound healing is very slow and the inflammatory stimulation exists for a long time, it is still possible to leave pigmentation, which takes time to metabolize.
