Patient's question:
The scar on the back edge is painful to the touch, and it has very rough ridges, and it looks whitish. The doctor said it's a keloid-prone constitution. What kind of help is needed: How to solve the pain problem, how can the scar be faded?Doctor's answer:
A simple method, but it requires patience and persistence to be effective. Use an incense stick to blow out the moxibustion scars locally for 30 minutes, twice a day. It's best to do moxibustion after taking a bath at night, because the local area cannot be touched within two hours after moxibustion. You can buy a six-hole moxibustion box online to use. This way, you don't need to hold it with your hands, and the area being moxibustioned will also be more comprehensive. At night, apply a Epsom salt cloth bag to the scar and fix it in place until morning. After the Epsom salt hardens, it can be exposed to the sun and used again for three or four more times before replacing it with a new one.
