Scar tumor refers to a tumor like scar that appears on the skin surface in a crab like shape due to problems with the skin's self-healing mechanism caused by skin trauma. Although this is a benign tumor scar, it is not aesthetically pleasing. So, what are the treatment methods for scar tumors? Is there a way to remove scar tumors?
Treatment methods for scar tumors
1) Audio Electronics
It can partially or completely alleviate subjective symptoms and soften and flatten scars to varying degrees.
(2) Direct current ion introduction
Place a cloth pad soaked in scar softening solution at the scar site, and introduce drug ions into the scar tissue through direct current induction. Induction current intensity of 0.01-0.05mA/cm2, once a day, 30 minutes each time, with one course of treatment every 20 days. Several treatment courses can be effective.
The main ingredients of scar softening solution are colchicine, noradrenaline, dimethyl sulfoxide, centipede, gallnut, copper money grass, safflower, purple grass, and licorice.
(3) Cryotherapy
It is to use low temperature below 0 ℃ to freeze and destroy scar tissue in order to achieve the goal of treating scars. Common freezing sources include carbon dioxide snow, fluorine, and liquid nitrogen. By utilizing their ultra-low temperature properties, the cells at the scar site are frozen externally or internally, causing dehydration and shrinkage of the cells, changes in intracellular solute concentration, and leading to necrosis and detachment of the lesion.
What is scar tumor
Scar tumor refers to a skin disease characterized by the appearance of solid scar lumps on the skin that protrude from the skin surface, resembling crab feet. During the process of skin injury healing, the collagen synthesis metabolism function loses normal constraint control and remains in an overactive state. When scar tissue grows beyond the wound site and infiltrates surrounding normal tissue, or the scar growth time exceeds the normal growth period, it becomes a keloid, also known as crab foot swelling or keloid [1], which belongs to the category of skin fibroproliferative diseases or dermal fibrosis diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called crab foot swelling or giant scar syndrome, which is characterized by the protrusion of normal skin, various shapes, and benign lumps with red color and hard texture.
The mechanism of scar tumor formation is quite complex. Some people may develop scar tumors due to genetic information or external factors. Although scar tumors are not fatal tumors, many people still want to remove their unsightly appearance. After reading the content of this article, do you have any understanding?
