Does an Injury Scar on a Lip?
Often times, an injury leaves its mark. However, scars rarely remain on a lip. Find out why and how you can treat scars here.
Why does an injury scar?
- the skin consists of different layers. The epidermis, dermis and subcutis. These are also known in German as epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
- If a wound is superficial and only affects the epidermis, the injury does not leave any behind scar. This is because the epidermis can regenerate quickly and effectively. On the other hand, if the dermis, i.e. the dermis, is also injured, it cannot be completely restored and visible scars remain.
- Although an injury on the lip rarely leaves scars because the structure of the skin is very different from the rest of the body, scars are also possible here. However, only if the deeper layer of the dermis is affected or the regenerative abilities of the skin are restricted.
Skin, lip and scar treatment
- If an injury also leaves scars on a lip, this can often be foreseen shortly after the wound has formed. The same applies to the rest of the skin. If the injury is very deep, the lip should receive scar treatment. Get advice from a doctor, keep the affected skin supple and apply special scar creams regularly.
- Especially on the face and on mouth scars can be bothersome. While they can fade over time, it often takes a long time. Scar creams speed up this process. You will achieve the best results if you apply the creams shortly after the injury and use them regularly.
- Healthy, elastic skin heals faster and better. Even then, an injury will leave scars on a lip, but these are less noticeable. So take care of the skin on your lips regularly.
- Healing can be delayed by contamination of the wound, which creates unsightly scar tissue. So clean the injury thoroughly and make sure it stays clean as it heals.
- The resulting scab or grind serves a purpose and protects the underlying tissue during regeneration. So do not remove it.
