Introduction
In general, scars refer to cicatrix, and Hirudoid refers to mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream. Whether mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream can remove scars needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. If the scar is newly formed, it may have some effect; however, for old or established scars, it may not be effective. It is recommended to consult a professional physician before using this medication.

Generally speaking, scars refer to cicatrix, and Hirudoid refers to mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream. Whether mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream can remove scars needs to be determined according to specific circumstances. If the scar is newly formed, it may have some effect; however, if it is an old scar, the effect may be limited. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream mainly functions as an anti-inflammatory agent and promotes the absorption of edema and hematomas. These properties enable the medication to accelerate skin metabolism and cell repair, and improve blood circulation, thereby potentially reducing the severity of scars to some extent. For newly formed surgical scars, acne marks, keloids, and mild skin injury scars, mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream may have a certain lightening effect.

However, for more severe scars such as those with large surface area, abnormal pigmentation, or hypertrophic scars, the improvement achieved with mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream may be limited. Scars are formed during the healing process after skin damage and their development is related to multiple factors, including abnormal collagen metabolism and cell apoptosis. In such cases, other more specialized treatment methods may be required, such as laser therapy, microneedling, or surgical excision.

To ensure safety and effectiveness, it is recommended to consult a professional physician before using mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream, and also to follow the correct application methods and precautions. Additionally, maintaining personal hygiene and proper skincare in daily life is important, and self-medicating with drugs should be avoided to prevent unnecessary health risks.
