Anti-scar drugs

Life is full of ups and downs, and our bodies will always have many scars. Scars on children will gradually fade away as they grow up, but adults do not have this condition. If the scar is not obvious, it can be covered with clothes, but if the scar is in an obvious position, it will affect the appearance and needs to be treated. This article introduces several commonly used anti-scar drugs. You can take a look if you need them.

Here are the basic uses of four commonly used anti-scar drugs or materials:

1. Silicone dressing (Xinka or scar dressing): Cut according to the size of the wound and use externally. Each patch can be reused for one month after daily cleaning. If it is heavily contaminated or loses its adhesion, it should be cleaned or replaced immediately. The total course of treatment is 1 to 1.5 years, and it is best to persist for 2 years to achieve the best results. Try to use it for a longer time every day, 20 hours is recommended. You can use it at night when you sweat a lot in the summer. Within 4 hours of not using the patch, the scarred skin and the patch should be cleaned. Soap can be used for cleaning and the patch should be washed and dried. During the 4-hour drying time, other medications can be used on the scar and massage therapy can be combined. After applying the medication, the skin should be massaged for 20 minutes to facilitate full absorption of the medication. When using the dressing again, wash it thoroughly and apply the medicine. If the skin shows symptoms of eczema such as itching or rash, stop using the patch and continue treatment after the condition improves. You can use our cleansing cream for external use to treat eczema.

2. Silicone gel (Silicon Gel or Dermabrasion): Use area: face, hands and other areas that are not suitable for silicone patches. Target group: Children and other people who cannot comply with silicone patches. Use it once in the morning and once in the evening. The dosage should not be too large, just a thin layer. When applying again, the previous medicine must be thoroughly washed off.

3. The use of elastic sleeves in conjunction with silicone patches can play a fixing role and physically compress scars, reducing congestion and hyperplasia. The usage time is similar to that of silicone dressing. Try to wear it for as long as possible every day. Once the elasticity weakens or disappears, the elastic sleeve should be replaced in time. For specific usage methods, please refer to my other article "Maintenance and Usage Precautions of Compression Clothing".

4. If non-silicone drugs (Centella Asiatica Cream, Kangruibao, Urea Cream Vitamin E, Saifurun) are used in combination with silicone patches, please refer to the first part. If this type of drug is used alone, it can be used multiple times a day. It should be noted that: multiple drugs can be used daily, but they should be used at intervals and do not apply two drugs at one time. Before each use, the previous medicine should be thoroughly washed off.
