Hypertrophic scars, in themselves, result from constitutional issues, meaning they are tied to an individual's physical condition and have certain hereditary elements. This condition significantly affects appearance, and certain dietary items can further irritate hypertrophic scars. Thus, it is recommended to avoid certain stimulating foods such as bamboo shoots, beef, crucian carp, and seafood, as these can impede the healing of hypertrophic scars. Moreover, if symptoms are pronounced, or if irritation is prominent, it is also advisable to avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking. Such irritants can notably aggravate the skin, potentially leading to localized scar sensitivity.
