How to deal with a baby\’s injury without leaving scars? Every parent should get these care methods

It is the nature of children to be lively and active. In the process of growing up, bumps and scratches are inevitable. If you fall down in winter, you can wear thick clothes to protect yourself. But nowadays, the temperature is getting higher and higher, clothes are wearing less and less, and outdoor activities are also increasing. Once the baby falls or gets bumped, skin trauma will definitely occur. What worries parents even more is how ugly the scars will be in the future! In fact, after a baby has a skin injury, if parents perform scientific wound treatment, the baby will have less or even no scars. Next, let’s follow Doudehui to learn how to provide correct care according to different conditions of the wound. 1. No wounds, no broken skin, and no swelling. For this type of wound, ice compress is the first choice. This can prevent blood vessels from dilating and rupturing to reduce bleeding, stop bleeding, and relieve pain. The specific method is to use an ice pack or wrap the ice cubes in a towel and apply it to the affected area. Do not leave it on the affected area all the time because it is easy to get frostbite. It is recommended to apply ice for 10 to 20 minutes, taking a break every few seconds to prevent frostbite. 2. No bleeding but congestion and swelling. In the face of local edema and congestion, parents must not give hot compresses to the baby, because using hot things can easily dilate local blood vessels and aggravate bleeding and swelling. Specific methods are currently recommended to use ice packs or cold towels (within 24 hours) for external application to prevent the swelling from continuing to grow. As for safflower oil, which is most commonly used by parents, it can only be used after 24 hours. 3. Broken skin and bleeding. Wounds with wounds are prone to scars, so do not use alcohol, iodine, hydrogen peroxide and other irritating disinfectants to treat wounds. Doing so will affect the repair of the skin and seriously damage the baby\’s tender skin. , and it doesn’t help at all to suppress scars! The specific method is to simply bleed. It is recommended to use mild ointments such as iodophor, iodine complex, and Biotopan (just choose one) after disinfection to clean and prevent wound infection. If the wound is deep and the bleeding cannot be stopped, you need to use gauze or a band-aid to press the affected area until the bleeding is completely stopped. If it still doesn\’t work, it is recommended to apply pressure on the wound and take the baby to see a doctor immediately. What can be done to reduce the appearance of scars? As long as parents take the above wound care measures, they can actually reduce the probability of scars. However, for more serious wounds or wounds that require stitches, it is recommended to use cosmetic sutures (those as thick as hair) when suturing. As long as the wound is not scarred, scars like \”centipede feet\” will generally not appear after the wound heals. After the wound has completely healed, you can consult your doctor to apply anti-scar medication. What should I do if scars have already appeared? If scars have already appeared on the baby, as long as the scar is not large or the scar is in an inconspicuous area, no treatment is required. If it appears on a more obvious part such as the face, it is recommended to consult a doctor to formulate a surgical plan to treat scars. Precautions for head bumps: Head trauma may cause concussion or intracranial hemorrhage, so parents should closely monitor changes in their baby\’s condition. If your baby has symptoms such as poor mental health, abnormal crying, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, or disturbance of consciousness, you should go to the hospital for a consultation in time. Once there is a tendency to worsen, a head CT can be performed to rule out intracranial bleeding if necessary.Bleeding and fractures. Will chickenpox or impetigo leave scars? In fact, as long as you take good care of it, there will generally be no scars. The red marks after the scabs fall off will gradually fade and disappear as the baby grows and develops. Parents need to pay special attention to avoid the baby scratching the affected area, because once infection occurs or the dermal layer of the skin is damaged, it is particularly easy to leave scars. Also, during the wound healing process, direct sunlight should be avoided as it may cause pigmentation. Finally, Doudehui wants to correct a long-standing mistake! When a baby falls down, the elders like to rub the affected area, thinking that it can relieve the symptoms and comfort the baby. However, the result is exactly the opposite. Doing so can easily aggravate local bleeding, redness and swelling. Good intentions lead to bad things, so parents who have this habit must change it.
