Misunderstanding 1: The crusted blade is itchy and ugly.

Correction: Do not remove the scallops of the incision prematurely after the operation.

Some mothers often open the scalp of the incision after the operation manually because of itching and tingling, etc.

The two most important factors that determine scars and ugliness are physical fitness and tension. The natural texture of the lower abdomen skin is horizontal, so the tension across the wound is minimal,

After a long-term investigation, it was found that some women do not attach importance to scar care, and put forward special precautions for female friends:

1. Do not remove the incision of the incision prematurely after surgery. Excessive premature removal of the incision will take away epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage and even tear off the dermal tissue and stimulate the wound to itch;

2. Avoid sunlight and prevent pigmentation due to UV stimulation;

3. Apply some topical medicines such as skin ease, anti-inflammatory pine, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

4. Improve your diet, eat more fruits,

The appearance of scars first affects the appearance. The beauty of cesarean scars is mainly related to the tension of the wound. If the caesarean wound is just parallel to the skin lines, the scars can be hidden in the lines. After maturity, only a faint line will be left, which is almost invisible. Therefore, a transverse Caesarean section wound will be more beautiful. Conversely, if the wound is just perpendicular to the skin lines, the scar will be particularly ugly.

Treatment methods for scars include: surgical treatment, drug treatment, compression treatment, laser treatment, radiation, freezing, and silicone patch treatment. The following highlights some of the more common treatments;

About two to three weeks after the scar of the surgical incision, the scar began to grow. At this time, the area became red, purple, hardened, and the skin surface was prominent. It lasts for about three months to about half a year, fibrous tissue hyperplasia gradually stops, scars gradually flatten and soften, and the color becomes dark brown. At this time, cesarean section scars will appear itching. Especially when sweating a lot or when the weather changes, it is often itchy to the extent that it is necessary to scratch and see the blood to stop. So in the scar patients there is pain and tolerance, itching is difficult to say.

A common treatment is to apply some topical medicine to relieve itching. Do not scratch it with your hands, or rub it with clothes or wash it with water. This will only exacerbate local irritation, cause inflammatory reactions in connective tissue, and cause further itching. If you encounter special circumstances, it is recommended to solve the problem under the guidance of a doctor, which is safer.

1. The treatment site must not be stained with water or rubbed on the day.

2. Proper amount of repair factors can be used to speed up the repair after surgery and avoid direct sunlight exposure, otherwise it is easy to produce pigmentation.

3. During the treatment, it is recommended to use skin care products and repairing masks that contain sufficient water, to replenish skin moisture in time to improve the effect, and to recommend sun protection.

4. The formed crusts usually fall off naturally within 5-10 days. It is strictly forbidden to tear by hand.

5. Avoid spicy foods and light sensitive foods during treatment, such as pepper, beef, mutton, fish, shrimp, seafood, celery, parsley, white radish, mango, etc., often eat fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, lean meat, meat skin Foods rich in vitamins C and E and essential amino acids in the body can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal cell metabolism.

6. Stop exposure to high temperature (sunbathing, steam bath) or extremely cold environment during treatment.

7, treatment requires multiple times, each time charged according to regulations, 1-3 months follow-up.

8. Excessive friction and movement should be avoided. Generally, the surface structure and function of scars are not perfect, and the epidermis is easily damaged. Some incorrect methods can easily damage it.
