What should I pay attention to when my surgical scar is red and swollen

When people suffer from serious diseases that cannot be treated with drugs, they must resort to surgical treatment, because surgical treatment can completely remove the lesions and cut off the basis for the development of the disease. However, surgery often has certain side effects. For example, deeper scars will be produced after the operation, and the recovery period is slow. The scars will become red, swollen and painful in the later stage, which makes the patients very painful. Let’s take a look at what we should pay attention to when surgical scars become red and swollen?

It is considered to be a symptom of scar hyperplasia. Scar hyperplasia often causes symptoms such as itching, tingling or burning pain, irritability or local hypersensitivity. Currently, the better method is to use scar removal equipment in combination with drugs to repair the scars without surgery, which can promote scar fading, restore the scars to a smooth and flat state, close to normal skin.

Scars caused by general surgery are usually best treated one week after the stitches are removed and the scabs on the surface fall off;

If the scar hyperplasia is caused by surgery a long time ago, the treatment is not affected by the season. As long as there is time and method, you can go to the hospital for treatment. The treatment of surgical scar hyperplasia requires persistence and continuity, generally once a month, and requires about 3 to 5 times. It uses non-surgical treatment methods, does not require bandaging, and will not affect normal work and life.

Note:

Surgical removal of scars will only make them worse, because the hyperplastic scar connective tissue is also very unstable. Rainy days, eating hot peppers, drinking alcohol, and inflammation will irritate the scars, causing itching, redness and swelling. If the skin on the scar is broken, it generally will not grow any larger, but it is always not good to be irritated again.

First, use hydrogen peroxide, saline solution, etc. to thoroughly rinse the local area, apply iodine, alcohol, etc. for disinfection, bandage as appropriate, strengthen hygiene, keep the local area clean, avoid adverse stimulation, eat a reasonable diet, increase nutrition, supplement vitamin C, etc., use antibiotics such as penicillin, erythromycin, inject tetanus antitoxin, etc. as appropriate, and most cases can get better. Specific details should follow the guidance of the clinical physician.
