Introduction
In general, scar-prone constitution is caused by genetic factors and cannot be completely eliminated. If scars do occur, patients can remove or improve them through daily care, Western medicine treatments, traditional Chinese medicine, cryotherapy, or surgical interventions. Patients should take preventive measures in daily life to avoid trauma. For existing scars, it is recommended to consume more foods such as kelp, seaweed, and sea grass.
Generally, scar-prone constitution is caused by genetic factors and cannot be completely eliminated. However, if scars do appear, patients can remove or improve them through daily care, Western medicine treatments, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cryotherapy, surgical procedures, and other methods. Specific approaches are as follows:
1. Daily Care: Patients should take preventive measures to avoid injuries. If scars have already formed, they should consume more seaweed, kelp, and similar foods that help soften scar connective tissue and moisturize the skin.
2. Western Medicine Treatment: For smaller scars, patients may use medications such as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream or recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor gel under medical supervision to inhibit scar formation and soften existing scars.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment: Under a doctor's guidance, patients may apply TCM-based topical agents such as Madecassol ointment or scar-removal ointments to promote wound healing and reduce scars.
4. Cryotherapy: Patients can visit a reputable hospital for cryotherapy treatment, which destroys scar tissue by freezing, thereby achieving scar removal.
5. Surgical Treatment: If the above methods fail to eliminate the scar, patients may consider surgery at a qualified medical facility to excise the scar tissue, repair the wound surface, and restore normal skin function.
If large or severe scars develop, prompt medical attention is recommended to prevent delayed treatment and worsening outcomes.
