However, you can try different methods used to treat scars and scars - perhaps some of them will help you achieve the desired effect. Use prescription and over-the-counter medicines, try homeopathic treatments, and make sure your scar doesn't get worse.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Treat Scars with Topical Medicines

1. 1 Use silicone plates. Scientific research has shown that self-adhesive silicone patches, a type of healing patch, are effective in helping to quickly heal scars and keloids. These medicines can be bought at a pharmacy or ordered online. Follow the directions for the preparation when applying the patch to the scar.
   • In most cases, the silicone sheet will need to be glued over the scar and left for 12 hours or longer. The next day, remove the patch and replace it with a new one.
   • The healing time of scars depends on the individual characteristics of the human body. It may take several days, weeks, or even months before you notice a reduction in your scar.
2. 2 Use petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly effectively moisturizes the skin and the surface of the scar, which helps to accelerate the regeneration of integumentary tissues. In some cases, using petroleum jelly can help make scars less visible and speed up their healing.
3. 3 Apply sunscreen to the scar. Use a sunscreen to reduce the chance of pigmentation (red and brown spots) around a cut or scar. In addition, sunscreens protect the skin, moisturize it and help rejuvenate the integumentary tissue.
   • Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
   • You should use sunscreen consistently for several weeks.
   • If you have any skin problems, seek the advice of a dermatologist.
4. 4 Consider glucocorticosteroid treatment. Talk with your doctor if glucocorticosteroid injections are indicated for your case. Injection of the hormone directly into the scar tissue of the scar promotes tissue regeneration and makes the scar less visible.
   • Glucocorticosteroids soften the accumulation of collagen fibers and thereby facilitate the resorption of scar tissue. After the scar tissue degenerates, healthy integumentary tissue will begin to form in their place.
5. 5 Use aloe vera. It is believed that aloe vera products are effective in helping to heal cuts and scars. Apply aloe vera to the scar to speed up the healing process. Just take some aloe juice and apply it to the surface of the wound or scar. To speed up the repair of damaged tissue, apply aloe vera three times a day.

Method 2 of 2: Limit the factors that can worsen the condition of the scar

1. 1 Do not use vitamin E products. Many people believe that vitamin E promotes healing of scars, but it actually causes skin irritation and rashes.Do not use vitamin E products (such as gels, oils, or capsules) to heal scars, or you will only make the problem worse.
2. 2 Don't use hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (peroxide) causes the destruction of skin cells. If you use this remedy, it will slow down the growth of healthy tissue and increase the healing time of the scar.
   • If you need to cleanse a wound, use an antibiotic ointment or aloe vera product instead of hydrogen peroxide.
3. 3 Cover the wound with a bandage. Many people feel they need to keep cuts and scars open so they can breathe. However, in reality, this negatively affects the rate of cell renewal. Be sure to protect the damaged area with a bandage and keep it hydrated with aloe vera or other moisturizer.
   • Use a self-adhesive bandage or bandage to protect the cut or scar.
4. 4 Limit time in direct sunlight. While your wound or scar is healing, try to spend less time in the sun. The sun's rays have a negative effect on the regeneration of damaged skin, which can worsen the condition of the scar. So, if you do have to leave the house in sunny weather, be sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat and closed clothing, and apply sunscreen.
