For relatively superficial clean wounds (such as epidermal abrasions and scratches), such wounds do not hurt the dermis, generally do not produce uneven scars, and only leave pigmentation. To deal with this type of pigmentation, as long as you use allantoin / hydroquinone cream / passic acid / arbutin / etc. can solve the problem;
For deeper wounds (such as caesarean section scars), if the wound hurts the dermis, the skin will heal. This healing may make the skin uneven. To deal with this kind of scarring, it is better to apply silicone gel.
For non-clean wounds, infection and inflammation can promote scar proliferation. So first of all, this wound must be cleaned and disinfected, and secondly, after the scab, the scar growth of scars must be reduced with silicone gel.
Of course, for ordinary people, it is sometimes difficult to judge whether the wound is deep or shallow and whether it is clean or not. At this time, it is right to uniformly identify this wound as an unclean wound ~ first clean and disinfect, and then (after the scab) use silicone gel is not wrong!
