Patient's question:
Baby Girl: 4 years old. On October 25th, she hit her face on a cabinet at home and had slight bleeding. No treatment was done at the time. On October 28th evening, medication started to be applied. The wound has now healed with a scab and fallen off, but the skin looks slightly indented and uneven. Will it smooth out later? Will there be any scars left? Please help me take a look!Doctor's answer:
The wound on the baby's face was quite deep at the time. Although the scab has now fallen off, there may still be some minor scars. Since the child is young, they might recover completely very quickly. This also depends on the individual's constitution. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's cosmetology department for consultation to see if some anti-scarring medication can be applied. It is also advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet and to minimize sun exposure. Currently, you can apply aloe vera gel externally to promote the growth of new epidermis in the wound, which also has a whitening effect. Be sure to protect against the sun.
