Cutting away the scar under the body, unexpectedly, the more you cut, the smaller the scar gets; going to a large clinic for "scar injections", but in the end, it proves completely ineffective... Wang Jinhuiang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine at Zhujiang Hospital, said that they often receive patients who have improperly treated scars on their bodies. He warned that different types of scars, such as acne scars, are suitable for different treatment methods, and one should not blindly believe advertisements or treat them arbitrarily! For example, chest scars should not be cut indiscriminately, otherwise they may grow larger, and after facial injuries, one should quickly seek professional plastic surgeons to handle the wound, otherwise it could result in difficult-to-heal and unsightly scars!
A scar the size of a soybean became as large as a palm after being cut
Mr. Zhang, from Jiangdong, had a scar the size of a soybean on his chest due to mosquito bites several years ago. Initially, Mr. Zhang didn't take it seriously, but later he started feeling itchy at the scarred area. A friend of his, an internist, enthusiastically helped him remove the scar. Unexpectedly, within half a year, not only did a thumb-sized scar appear in the original spot, but the itching also worsened significantly. Another doctor friend of Mr. Zhang's then performed another surgery for him. This time, the situation got even worse, and within six months post-surgery, the scar had grown to the size of a palm!
Wang Jinhuiang reminded that actually, scars in certain parts of the body cannot be removed, such as those on the chest. Because as long as a person is alive, they need to breathe, and breathing causes chest movement. The movement of the chest can cause pulling on the scar, leading to its enlargement — what is known as "movement generates scars." Therefore, chest scars must not be removed lightly. In fact, there are many such "prohibited areas" on the body. Wang Jinhuiang warns that without proper knowledge of plastic surgery and rashly undergoing surgeries in non-specialized clinics often leads to "good intentions causing bad results." Therefore, when one has a scar, it’s best to consult a qualified plastic surgeon at a reputable hospital first.
"Scar needles" injections must be administered accurately to be effective
The various "scar removal advertisements" make people dazzled, some claim that just one application will work wonders, others say one injection will do the trick, each seemingly miraculous. Wang Jinhuiang said, in reality, scar removal is a highly specialized skill. Without specific plastic surgery expertise, it's hard to achieve satisfactory results, let alone at street corner clinics.
"I once received a female patient surnamed Zhang, who experienced constant itching and pain around a scar on her chest, especially at night while sleeping in a warm blanket or after drinking alcohol or eating spicy and stimulating foods, whereupon her body heats up, making the discomfort of the scar more noticeable," Wang Jinhuiang said. Consequently, Ms. Zhang went to see doctors multiple times but found no issues. Later, she went to a nearby large clinic for "scar injections," but with no effect at all. This made Ms. Zhang even more anxious, to the point of losing sleep and appetite. Eventually, her family brought her to the Aesthetic Department at Zhujiang Hospital, where after a few days of injection treatments, the scar stopped growing and began to soften.
In fact, Ms. Zhang suffered from hypertrophic scars, which indeed itch and hurt, especially when the skin is stimulated. The treatment prescribed by the doctor was injecting corticosteroids into the scar. Wang Jinhuiang explained that although "scar needles" seem simple, the injection site must be precise. If injected by an experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeon, generally within two to three days, the effects of relieving itching, stopping pain, and halting growth can be achieved. However, if treated by an unqualified doctor, the results will certainly be discounted.
