Can caesarean section scars be removed?

Everyone knows that cesarean section usually leaves a wound, and scars will be left after the wound heals. Moreover, cesarean section scars are permanent and generally difficult to remove. However, you can use some methods to lighten the scars, but they cannot be completely removed. You can often massage the scar area to promote blood circulation in the skin, which can relieve the scar from becoming more and more serious.

Things to note about cesarean section scars

1. Avoid sunlight to prevent ultraviolet stimulation and pigmentation;

2. Pay attention to your diet during the scar repair period and avoid alcohol, peppers, onions, garlic and other irritating foods that will cause scars to itch.

3. Do not remove the scab from the incision too early after surgery. Removing the scab too early and hard will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate itching of the wound;

4. Excessive friction and activity should be avoided. Generally, the surface structure and function of scars are not perfect enough, and the epidermis is easily damaged. Some incorrect practices can easily cause damage. Experts from the Shanghai Armed Police Hospital said that when wiping scar medicine, you should not use too much force or for too long. For joints, you should not exercise frequently and excessively, as these may cause the scar epidermis to loosen and separate, causing blisters.

5. Carry out prevention in the early stage. Pay attention to methods to prevent scar formation from the beginning, and be prepared to prevent scar formation at every stage. If you want scars to disappear completely and restore your skin to its original appearance, you need to use scar removal products to achieve ideal results.

Caesarean section scar care methods

1. Clean the wound in time to avoid bacterial infection. Pay attention to keeping the scar clean, wipe off sweat stains in time, be careful not to soak it in hot water, scratch it with your hands, and don't rub it with clothes. When the wound is just healing, there will be some secretions, which is the most likely place for bacteria to breed. At this time, the epidermis of the wound is very thin, which can easily cause infection and ulceration. During this period, you can clean it with a neutral detergent and then treat it with some anti-scar medication.

2. You can use medicine to relieve itching on the wound. Apply some topical medications such as Fuqingsong, triamcinolone, dexamethasone, etc. to relieve itching;

3. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, and avoid eating irritating foods. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism. Avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers, onions and garlic.

4. Do not scratch the wound. Keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or use water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

5. Prevent scar proliferation. After the scar scabies are removed, silicone care dressings such as Mepiform should be used immediately to prevent scar hyperplasia, prevent scar hyperplasia and protrusions, increase pigmentation, and affect appearance. If it is a permanent scar that has existed for many years, it can also be used for treatment to remove hyperplasia, dissipate pigmentation, etc.
