Hi, I cut the side of my left big thumb while cutting fruit about 4 months ago . I had so much blood blood coming out as a result of this. I put pressure on the cut area and the blood eventually stopped. I put plaster on it. I later realised that the skin had closed up the open wound by the time I removed the plaster. I tried to pressed out the fluid I noticed was inside. Since then the wound remained closed with a kind of keloid -like scar swollen , and a bit painful when i touch it or rob it against something accidentally. The swollen reduces if I use plaster to cover it up, but came back to the usual swollen -like size when it is taken off -especially when the area come in contact with water.How can I reduce the swollen or the keloid -like scar in a natural way?Does it mean that a complete healing is not has not taken place yet? Please advise.
debris it is keloid then we need a dermatology advise for some topical injection and Chat Doctor. More over for any infective because we need to see if there was any blood clot initially which is creating the problem. A regular antibiotic with analgesic, antiinflammatory can benefit us.However, the best natural way is to prevent continuous contact with water.in such cases we usually advise for an investigation to see any abnormality and not a plaster to cover it. Hope this helps welcome for further queries.
