The phone call was everything! No other human at any other level of society can excuse themselves to take an unrelated phone call during their KZfaq video. Would we not feel Bieber obnoxious doing this? A policeman, a firefighter, a politician, a lawyer? Only a doctor. Love this video. Laughed out hardly when it rang and then he took it. Doctors are demi-gods of life and death among us.

Also, this video was amazing. My cosmetic surgeon told me none of this info, even though I probed him and the staff for info on scaring and would healing. I was told to keep the wound and sutures as dry as possible, to absolutely not use aquaphor, and that the wound could just heal on its own without any help.
@barbarasmith3884 жыл бұрын
Personally I think he gave You wrong info. Wounds generally need moisture to heal. And also this Scar Away that I use really helps to keep scarring at a minimum. But dont take my word for it.I would read some articles About it and then confront him. Maybe you Have some special kind of Stitches or something that Doesn't require this care.

This was a great video. I recently slipped in the shower and sustained a laceration by my eye/temple. I went to ER because I was concerned about concussion. The ER Dr opted to use dermabond and I received a tetanus shot. Within 3 days I went back to ER because I suspected it was infected. At that point, a Dr reopened and cleaned it up, put me on antibiotics, and wanted me to leave it open. I left it alone overnight but the next day I was advised to close it myself with steri strips so I did. Yesterday makes it one week out since I fell. I know the infection set me back on healing but the wound came together relatively well (the edges don’t seem to be sealed yet). Although I am concerned about it being raised or depressed so I’m going to look into the silicone products you suggested. Thank you for the information.

I love how you mention “NON” antibiotic ointment in this video. Many of us are actually allergic to antibiotic ointments, and i have actually become victim to very bad scarring due to excessive inflammation on a wound because i was told to use antibiotic ointment being a patient with ethnic skin who already is at risk for bad scarring. Excessive inflammation makes scarring worse. People with ethnic skin type being more prone to scarring, have to be very careful in following proper post operative, and a very important part of this is keeping inflammation down. I recently learned taking IBUPROFEN is actually good as a pain reliever because it brings down inflammation, so keeping that inflammation down is key. Also i think antihistamines can do this too. Some of us also are allergic to some suture materials so that can cause problems too. Compression is also good for scars. And too much tension on a wound can also cause bad scarring.

Hi, I'm 21 and I recently had a dog bite to my upper lip 2 weeks ago that went through the skin to open up into a 1p sized gap, but it did not go throuhh the muscle etc. I went to nhs a&e and had it glued together with steri strips. The strips started lifting on day 2 due to my oily skin so I put some elastaplast on, the glue remained strong. The wound began to weep after 3 days, but only at night so it dried under the strips before I could clean it up. After 7 days I removed the strips and the glue fell off overnight with some moisture. The cut did not close fully and is a bit depressed. I went to see my gp twice, once after 3 days and once after 1 week and they just referred me to a specialist surgeon in the next county who can only see me in 7 weeks. They did not recommend any topical treatments and told me not to put anything on the wound till it has 'healed', but I don't know what that is meant to look like. I feel like I'm just feeling round in the dark right now and it has really hit my confidence. I just wish a doctor would help me rather than just pawning me off. I feeli like its there way of telling me I'm screwed.

Doctor, what about rubbing creams? I used to have a facial scar next to my nose, and I used some probably prescription (in Hungary) green partially or entirely made out of an onion extract. That thing started a long lasting allergic reaction as part of or on top of its function to make the skin peel(?) off. It peeled(?) (and eventually flaked) a lot. Today, it is not visible at all. It was over half an inch in length, and it was a very fine cut by glass. Is that no longer considered a best practice or it never was in the U.S. and/or in other Western countries?

You'd think a suture needle would leave scarring! Might be worth mentioning the power of rosehip seed oil in the prevention of ugly, raised scar tissue forming. Keloids especially respond well to its application, and can be prevented from forming with continuous use. Personally, I would stay away from micro needling. It actually ages skin long term, unbelievably.
