Patient's question:
I had my foreskin circumcised before. After the surgery, there was some swelling, but it later healed. However, a red spot remained, which has never faded.There's also a scar on my foreskin that is quite noticeable. I'm not married yet, and I'm wondering how to explain it to my future wife.
First follow-up question: What is the red spot? Is it due to bruising? It hasn't faded yet.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are several methods to remove scars:1. Massage method: Rub the scar with the palm of your hand three times a day, for 5-10 minutes each time. This method works best on newly healed wounds but is less effective on old scars.
2. Ginger scraping method: Apply thinly sliced ginger to the scar to inhibit the growth of granulation tissue.
3. Vitamin E application method: Vitamin E can penetrate the skin to moisturize it while also maintaining skin elasticity.
4. Vitamin C whitening method: Apply vitamin C to darker scars to lighten them and make them match the tone of the surrounding healthy skin.
5. Lavender essential oil application method: Lavender has amazing beauty benefits, and its ability to fade scars is widely recognized.
