Patient's question:
Last night, the child fell down the stairs, scraping their mouth and bruising their cheek. There's also a scar left. The wound on the face is bleeding. After observing the child closely for a day, their spirits are normal. I'm worried about the scar on their face. Should I use medication? What kind of medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
After reading your description, your child had no abnormal symptoms for a day after the injury. I suggest you continue to pay close attention and observe carefully. Since the wound on your child's face is not very deep, it should not leave a scar. You can also apply aloe vera gel, which can help reduce swelling and improve the appearance. Be careful not to let it get cold and avoid sun exposure. Do not let the baby touch it with their hands. Whether or not a scar will form depends on whether the child is prone to scarring. Generally, they are not. First, wait and see how it develops.
