Role of onion extract in preventing abnormal scarring in scald injury

Abstract

It has been suggested that using an onion extract and silicone derivative can stop aberrant scarring. In order to prevent aberrant post-burn scars, our study showed the prophylactic usage of silicone derivative and onion extract gel. Along with silicone-based treatments, onion extract or capelin has received attention recently as a potential contributor to scarring. According to various studies, onion extract itself may help with wound healing and may help avoid new scars. Patients evaluated their level of pain and itching at each visit, and surgeons used the Vancouver Scar Scale to assess the scarring process. Ratings for pain and itchiness in patients applying onion extract gel. No side effects were reported by any patients. Gel made from onion extract is secure and useful for avoiding unnatural burn scars.
