Patient's question:
The child had skin grafting done a few days ago and wants to know if it has taken. They went to change the dressing, but the child kept crying and wouldn't let the doctor examine them. The doctor didn't say if it had taken.Doctor's answer:
Based on what you described, it seems that the majority of the skin graft has taken successfully, but it's worth waiting a few more days to see. My suggestion is that since the grafted skin appears to have mostly died, it likely hasn't taken. However, it's a good idea to wait a few more days for a closer observation. If no new skin grows, it would mean the graft has taken successfully, and it might still require another graft. If it's still possible, you'll need to change the medication on schedule. These are my suggestions for this issue, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
