Why should children's burn scars be repaired as soon as possible?

       1. Physical uncomfortable discomfort: when scars proliferate, they will have a tingling sensation, which will make children uncomfortable for a long time. At the same time, due to the destruction of skin sweat glands, the scar area will lose sweating function, especially in the hot summer, children will feel very Uncomfortable.


  2. Change in appearance and image: Skin scars are the inevitable result of tissue repair when the damage reaches the dermis and below tissues. Children are in the growth and development period, and their cell viability and nutrient supply are far greater than adults. Therefore, scars are more likely to proliferate after burns and scalds, which will affect the appearance of the skin. If it occurs on the face, it will easily lead to changes in the facial features.


  3. Psychological problems: Children are more sensitive. When there are scars on their bodies, whether it is the strange eyes of others or the laughter of the children's friends, it is easy for the children to appear anxious, low self-esteem, etc.


4. Reduced activity function: The longer the scar formation time, it will not only proliferate, become thicker and harder, but also cause scar contracture. When the burn and scald part occurs at the joint, long-term immobilization and traction contracture will lead to joint function Obstacles, which in turn affect children's daily life such as eating, dressing, and walking.


  5. Restricted development: Children are in the golden age of growth and development. If the burns and scalds have a large area, such as physical activities, joints, etc., it will affect the growth and development of children to a certain extent, and will lead to limited limb development in the long term.
