Patient's question:
7-year-old child, fell down a week ago, had a bruise on the forehead. Figure 1 is a photo of the bruise on the day it occurred, and Figure 2 is a week later when it has formed a scab. Will it leave a scar if the scab falls off, or what kind of ointment should be used now that is suitable for children? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
After facial trauma, crusts usually form within the first three days after surgery. Around seven days, the crusts will naturally fall off. After the crusts fall off, it is recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits and drinking plenty of water is beneficial for complete recovery. You can apply silicone gel-based scar-reducing creams to prevent scar hyperplasia.The above advice is for the question "Will a 7-year-old child leave a scar after falling a week ago?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness every day!
