POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. To treat and care for scratching on wound scars, follow these steps:
1. **Clean the Area**: Gently wash the area with mild soap and water to remove any dirt or bacteria. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
2. **Apply an Antibiotic Ointment**: Use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment (like Neosporin) to prevent infection.
3. **Use a Moisturizer**: Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the area hydrated. This can help in the healing process and reduce itchiness.
4. **Cover the Wound**: If the area is still healing, cover it with a sterile bandage to protect it from further irritation and infection.
5. **Avoid Scratching**: To prevent further damage, try to avoid scratching the area. You can use an anti-itch cream or take antihistamines if the itchiness is severe.
6. **Consult a Dermatologist**: If the scar is not healing properly or if you notice any signs of infection (increased redness, swelling, or pus), seek advice from a healthcare provider. They may recommend specific treatments or products for scar care.
