Seemingly permanent reminders of old wounds, scars form during the healing process to repair skin damage. If their presence bothers you, the good news is that a scar’s initial appearance is not set in stone. While they likely won’t disappear entirely, scars do naturally lighten over time.

There are several ways to get rid of scars, or at least accelerate the lightening process and significantly reduce their appearance. Here are some scar treatment and prevention methods you can try at home:

Make healthy choices
Good nutrition promotes proper health, and Verywell Health noted that protein is especially important for healing skin damage. Make sure you’re eating enough protein, as well as staying hydrated to minimize your scars. Added to that, avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and engaging in too much physical activity during the wound healing process to prevent scar development.

Use sunscreen
Once your wound heals, the American Academy of Dermatology advised applying sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to the affected area regularly. Protecting the skin from the sun’s harsh rays can reduce discoloration and encourage the scarring to fade at a faster rate.

Practice proper wound care
Remember that while there are treatment options available, the best way to minimize scars is to avoid them in the first place.Take proper care of fresh wounds to restore the skin and prevent scarring. This includes keeping your cut, scrape, surgical incision or injury clean and moist, as well as covering the skin with dressings and replacing them with clean ones frequently.

When Piercings Get Complicated: How To Minimize The Appearance Of Piercing Scars

Piercing scars suck. There’s no other way to say it. When you’ve gone through the work to get and heal an awesome new piercing, a scar is the last thing that you want.

Scars can form for a number of reasons, but even if you do everything right, they can still appear. Our bodies are pretty amazing at healing themselves, but sometimes they get a little overexcited, leaving you with a permanent parting gift. Thanks, but no thanks.

The good news is that, in the vast majority of piercing scar cases, the scars and bumps will eventually fade on their own, and in some time, you’ll barely be able to notice them at all. However, we understand that it’s hard to be patient.

The two main types of scarring that you’ll see with piercings are hypertrophic scarring and atrophic scarring. (You often see keloid scars talked about in the piercing world, but these are a more serious, rarer hereditary condition. Likely, if you suspect that you’ve developed a keloid, it’s actually hypertrophic scarring, which is much simpler to treat.) Here are some ways to treat both conditions.

How To Minimize Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scarring is a raised scar that occurs when your body produces too much collagen during healing. It can be characterized by the following:

The scar is raised, usually less than 4mm.
It is slightly hard to the touch.
A new hypertrophic scar will be red. As it ages, it should lighten.

What You Can Do to Avoid Scars
Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered.
For minor injuries, Hultman stresses the importance of keeping them clean and protected. Use antibacterial cream or ointment and cover the area with a bandage, which can speed healing.

The presence of debris, bacteria or other impurities in open skin can trigger infection and extend the inflammation period. Hultman says prolonged inflammation enhances scar formation. That’s why it’s essential to clean the wound carefully, with professional help if necessary.

Hultman advises, “If you have a scrape, such as ‘road rash’ from falling off a bicycle, treat that like a burn, and be aware that there can be a crush injury to the skin as well.”

Avoid scratching or picking scabs.
Healing wounds may itch, but you should avoid the temptation to scratch them. “Scratching the wound or picking at the scab causes more inflammation, making a scar more likely,” Hultman says.

Get help for serious skin injuries.
Hultman says it’s better to err on the side of caution when deciding whether to see a doctor about a skin injury. He says you should check in with urgent care for these types of skin injuries:

Continued bleeding. If a deep cut continues to bleed, seek help right away.

Deep puncture wounds. “These injuries are dangerous, because they set up a one-way valve in the tissue,” Hultman says — dirt and bacteria can get in but can’t get out.

Bites. Animal and human bites can carry some nasty kinds of bacteria. Bite wounds that break the skin should be washed out and treated by a professional.

Burns. While first-degree burns usually heal on their own, second- and third-degree burns can become infected. “If you’re concerned about any burn, come to the ER. We would much rather make sure you are OK than miss an infection,” Hultman says.

Skin wounds with extreme pain and fever. These symptoms can indicate a dangerous infection that could spread quickly. You should go to an emergency room without delay.

How Scars Happen
To understand how scars form and how to avoid them, it’s helpful to understand your skin’s healing process. When you get a cut, scrape or burn, your body immediately responds with a series of steps to heal itself:

The first stage is hemostasis. The body prevents blood loss by sending platelets to the site, which bind together and seal the wound, forming a scab.
Next comes inflammation. White blood cells arrive at the area to fight off bacteria. You may notice redness, swelling, heat and pain. This is a natural part of the healing process and resolves on its own unless infection takes over. More inflammation in the healing process can mean a greater chance of scarring.
Proliferation is the next step. This is when the skin and vessels create new cells. As proliferation continues, you’ll see the edges of the scab shrink toward the middle, leaving new skin behind.
Finally, maturation occurs. The wound is healed, and there may be a scar in its place.

HOW TO MINIMIZE A SCAR
Whenever your skin is injured—whether by accident or from surgery—your body works to repair the wound. As your skin heals, a scar may form, as this is a natural part of the healing process.

The appearance of a scar often depends on how well the wound heals. While scars from surgery or over joints like the knees and elbows are hard to avoid, scars caused by minor cuts and scrapes can become less noticeable by properly treating the wound at home.

Here are dermatologists’ tips for reducing the appearance of scars caused by injuries such as skinned knees or deep scratches:

Always keep your cut, scrape or other skin injury clean. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water to keep out germs and remove debris.

To help the injured skin heal, use petroleum jelly to keep the wound moist. Petroleum jelly prevents the wound from drying out and forming a scab; wounds with scabs take longer to heal. This will also help prevent a scar from getting too large, deep or itchy. As long as the wound is cleaned daily, it is not necessary to use anti-bacterial ointments.

After cleaning the wound and applying petroleum jelly or a similar ointment, cover the skin with an adhesive bandage. For large scrapes, sores, burns or persistent redness, it may be helpful to use hydrogel or silicone gel sheets.

Change your bandage daily to keep the wound clean while it heals. If you have skin that is sensitive to adhesives, try a non-adhesive gauze pad with paper tape. If using silicone gel or hydrogel sheets, follow the instructions on the package for changing the sheets.

If your injury requires stitches, follow your doctor’s advice on how to care for the wound and when to get the stitches removed. This may help minimize the appearance of a scar.

Apply sunscreen to the wound after it has healed. Sun protection may help reduce red or brown discoloration and help the scar fade faster. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply frequently.

If you have minor cuts or scrapes, you can help reduce the appearance of a scar by properly treating the injury at home. However, if your injury is deep, very painful or if your skin becomes infected, seek immediate medical care.
