WHAT ARE KELOID SCARS?
When you have wounds on your skin due to surgery, trauma, acne, or piercing, those wounds can all be the cause of keloid scars. Keloid scars are the result of the formation of replacement fibrous tissue in the damaged skin. In addition to keloid scars, there are other types of scars such as pitted scars, hypertrophic scars, multiple nuclei, signs of skin contraction.
Keloid scars are the overgrowth of fibrous tissues after skin damage. The fibrous tissue grows constantly, will often float higher on the surface of the skin, and spread beyond the surrounding skin. They usually form in highly movement body parts such as chest, shoulders, arms, knees, etc.
CAN YOU HAVE KELOID SCARS AFTER EATING CHICKEN MEAT?
Chicken is known to contain a lot of good nutrients for the body. However, lots of people are concerned that whether chicken can cause keloid scars or not. And you’ve probably been told not to eat chicken when your body has open wounds.
And as you’ve heard, it’s true that eating chicken causes keloid scars and interferes with wound healing.
As the wound begins to heal, it needs extra nutrients to help nourish the wound. At this time, the metabolism in the body will accelerate and must use a lot of energy and reserved protein, if you provide too much protein from chicken, it will cause excessive protein absorption and cause keloid scars.
In addition, chicken contains a number of toxins that cause inflammation, soreness, and itching for wounds that are still healing. Therefore, you must not eat chicken, especially during the time the wounds start to heal.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE AVOID EATING?
In addition to chicken, while the wound is healing, we need to avoid eating the following types of food to minimize the possibility of causing keloid scars.
- Hot spicy foods and stimulants: These foods will make your wound fester and take longer to heal.
- Water spinach: Water spinach helps to accelerate cell regeneration, strongly stimulates collagen production and this causes the regeneration of excess skin leading to keloid scars formation.
- Sticky rice dishes such as Chung cake, sticky rice, etc., made from sticky rice are often hot and sticky, which will cause the wound to swell and fester, potentially leading to infection and the formation of keloid scars.
- Beef: Despite providing a very high source of nutrients for the body, beef will make the wound scarred.
- Seafood: Eating seafood at this time will cause itching, discomfort, and inflammation that easily cause keloid scars.
- Eggs: Eating eggs will make the skin brighter than usual after healing, causing skin discoloration.
