Large skin graft , can scars breath like skin pores?!


Question:

Large skin graft , can scars breath like skin pores?

I was shot in the back with a shotgun, i have a very large skin graft, my back hurts terribly, should i use pain creams on the scar tissue ?


Answers:

Of course you should ask your doctor about this, but personally I would put ice on it. Because cold is a natural anesthetic. And I would guess that the increased circulation caused by blood running to the cold area to warm it up would help promote the healing process as well.
More blood flow = More nutrients for tissue = Faster healing

Just curious though, why would anybody shoot a girl in the back with a shotgun. How far were you from the shotgun when you got hit?
