Can a two-year-old child use scar removal products?

Patient's question:

Six months ago, my lip got bruised. At that time, it was midnight, and I went to see a doctor who said it wasn't serious and that it couldn't be stitched because the child was too young. It has now healed, but there's a long red scar. It feels hard both from the inside and the outside. Now the child is 2 years and 1 month old. Can I use scar removal products? If I do, it's better to use those. If not, is there anything else that can replace it to help reduce it?

Doctor's answer:

Your child's condition is experiencing symptoms caused by post-surgical trauma. Generally, it may lead to symptoms such as local skin redness and scars, which can affect appearance. Your child's condition will gradually improve. Scar removal medications can be used.
Regarding your child's condition, I recommend first focusing on rest and maintaining a light, warm, and easily digestible diet, which is very important. It is advisable for your child to apply scar removal cream externally to the affected area, as it is highly effective with minimal side effects.
