Patient's question:
The baby was 1.5 years old when he scraped his scalp. He fell and hit an iron triangle, and there was immediate bleeding. We immediately took him to the hospital. The doctor examined him and said it was nothing serious, just use iodine to disinfect and it would be fine.When we got home, two hours later, I noticed that only a little blood was still oozing out, so I applied Yunnan Baiyao. Now, the scab has healed, and it has been 20 days. However, there are two scars on the scalp, and when I touched the area where he hit his head, it felt a bit sunken. What should I do? I’m very worried and anxious...
Previous treatment and outcome: None.
Desired help: Whether this will affect the baby’s future growth and development, and whether the sunken area on the scalp will grow back over time?
Doctor's answer:
A 1.5-year-old child who had a scalp wound that healed has left a scar. It is important to pay attention to nursing care and keep it dry. You can apply aloe vera gel or scar removal cream appropriately.Advice: Children have strong skin repair capabilities, so they are generally unlikely to leave scars as long as the wound is not infected. Please wait and see.
