Nursing of stitch scars in children

Many people worry about scars after stitches. Scars in obvious areas will have a certain impact on the appearance. For children who are easily injured, if they do not want scars to appear after stitches, they should pay special attention to post-operative care. Scars are, after all, new tissues that grow out of the skin. Whether or not scars are left is actually related to the speed of wound healing. The period of stitches and scab formation is a key period of care.

The next very important step is to carry out thorough disinfection. Foreign objects around the wound will not only prevent the wound from healing quickly, but also leave scars. The second thing to note is that during the wound recovery stage, you should avoid smoking, drinking and spicy food, otherwise it will affect the rapid healing of the wound. The faster a wound heals, the lower the likelihood of scarring, and vice versa. Therefore, if you want to avoid leaving scars, you must promote rapid healing of the wound.

After a series of basic treatments, the wound will naturally form a scab. At this time, we must be careful not to peel it off forcibly, but wait for it to fall off by itself. Do not use scar removal drugs casually during this stage, but you can use disinfectant for disinfection. Remember to avoid contact with water as much as possible and keep the wound clean, otherwise it will easily cause local infection and inflammation, preventing the wound from healing quickly.

Aloe vera is very helpful for wound healing. Its leaves contain a large amount of sticky liquid. These sticky liquids contain a lot of organic matter, which can promote the rapid generation of cells. Aloe vera also has a very great cosmetic effect. It can not only speed up wound healing, but also prevent the appearance of scars. The amino acids, vitamins and other elements contained in honey have a great promoting effect on wound recovery. During the wound healing stage, it is very necessary to apply aloe vera or honey to the affected area.

Promoting wound healing cannot just stay on the outside, but must be combined with internal adjustments. Then we have to mention some foods that can promote wound healing. Among meat foods, beef and pig's trotters are most beneficial for wound healing. Beef contains a lot of protein and amino acids, and not much fat, making it perfect for patients with three highs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pig's trotters are very good medicinal materials. They contain a lot of collagen, have beauty effects, and have a very good effect on wound healing.

When taking dietary supplements, you cannot just eat meat. The vitamins contained in some fruits and vegetables play a very important role in the rapid healing of wounds. Bitter melon contains a lot of nutrients such as vitamin B1, insulin, protein, etc., which is very suitable for patients to eat. In addition, bitter melon also has great medicinal value, such as nourishing the kidney and spleen, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. The lycopene contained in tomatoes has a unique antioxidant effect, which can slow down pigmentation and delay aging, and has a very great beauty effect.

Additionally, it is important to note that some foods are very unfavorable during the wound healing phase. For example: beef, mutton, dog meat, seafood, wine, onion, ginger, garlic, etc. are very unfavorable to wound healing. When the wound has healed and the scab has just fallen off, we can gently massage the affected area with ginger slices. Ginger is warm in nature and can promote blood circulation, accelerate the rapid growth of new cells, prevent the growth of granulation tissue, and prevent the formation of scars to a great extent.
