Hirudoid (compulsin) is used to treat keloids, and the course of treatment usually takes several months, with the specific duration varying depending on individual circumstances.
Hirudoid is a topical medication whose main components are heparin sodium and berberine. It improves local blood circulation and reduces scar tissue formation. In treating keloids, Hirudoid softens scars and reduces redness and swelling by inhibiting fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. During treatment, patients need to use Hirudoid continuously, usually twice daily for several months. The specific duration of treatment depends on the size and location of the keloid and the treatment response, generally requiring 3 to 6 months. During treatment, the doctor will regularly assess changes in the keloid to determine whether treatment needs to be continued or adjusted.
Patients using Hirudoid to treat keloid scars may encounter some common misconceptions. For example, some patients may believe that keloid scars will disappear immediately after using Hirudoid, but in reality, the treatment effect usually takes several months to appear. Some patients may worry about the side effects of Hirudoid, such as skin irritation or allergic reactions, but in fact, the incidence of these side effects is relatively low, and in most cases, they can be alleviated by adjusting the method or dosage of medication. When using Hirudoid to treat keloid scars, patients should be patient, follow their doctor's instructions, and have regular check-ups to ensure the treatment effect.
[Management Tip:]
1. Continue using Hirudoid as advised by your doctor, usually twice a day, for 3 to 6 months.
2. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to assess changes in the keloid scars and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
3. Carefully observe your skin reaction. If allergies or irritation occur, consult a doctor promptly.
