What to do if your child has scars from burns

It is a terrible thing for children to get scalded. In severe cases, it will leave scars that are difficult to remove. However, with the development of medical conditions, there are many treatments for burn scars. For minor burns, non-surgical treatments can be adopted, and pure physical therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is a good one. Severe burns generally require surgical treatment. Skin transplantation, tissue expansion, etc. are all common methods!

1. Non-surgical methods

Pure physical therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine uses pure physical methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine to eliminate the tissue inside the scar, soften the scar tissue and make it disappear, thus achieving the effect of natural repair.

There are many non-surgical methods for treating burn scars, including cryotherapy, pressure therapy, physical therapy, radiotherapy, laser therapy, and drug therapy. These methods are selected based on the specific conditions of the patient's scars. For example, pressure therapy is best used during scar formation and can effectively prevent scar proliferation. Moreover, these non-surgical methods have limitations and are not very effective in treating severe burn scars.

2. Surgical Method

For severe burn scars, surgical treatment is generally the treatment method. To treat this type of burn scar, you can choose scar excision, fractionated excision, skin grafting, skin grinding, tissue expansion and microsurgery techniques, etc. Especially for large-area burns, tissue expansion or surgical transplantation is generally used to treat scars. For more serious burn scars on the joints, where adhesions have occurred and caused functional impairment, skin transplantation combined with traction technology can be used for treatment.

If scars are left on the skin due to burns, how should we treat them? Surgery can effectively treat burn scars and improve the skin. In order to ensure skin health, everyone must choose a regular hospital during treatment.

1. First of all, you should choose to go to the hospital for treatment of burn scars, and go to the hospital in time for the doctor to clean, disinfect, suture or bandage the wound. People often worry that cleaning the wound will waste time, cause more bleeding or make the wound bigger, or even refuse to clean it simply because they are afraid of pain. In fact, cleaning the wound carefully is the most basic step to avoid scars and promote wound healing.

For example, if dust, coal ash or other debris is embedded in the skin after an injury, if it is not cleaned properly, the colored particles will remain in the skin and form unsightly dust stains.

Similarly, boils, pustules, etc. should be treated scientifically by a doctor as soon as possible, and should never be squeezed with your hands to prevent the inflammation from spreading deeper.

2. In addition, burn scars should be treated in a timely manner. After treatment, rinse immediately with plenty of clean cold water to reduce high temperature damage to deep tissues; do not use iodine to disinfect facial wounds, otherwise it will cause pigmentation.

Comprehensive treatment for burn scars

Generally speaking, there is not a single method used to treat burn scars. During the treatment process, the doctor will formulate treatment measures based on the patient's specific situation, such as auxiliary drugs after surgery, physical therapy after surgery, combination of drugs and physical therapy, radiation or isotope therapy, etc. Combine multiple methods to achieve the best results.
