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 it. 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 advisable to wait a few more days for careful observation. If no new skin grows, it would indicate that the skin graft has been successful, though it might still require another graft. If it's still healing, you should continue changing the medication on schedule. The above is my advice on this matter, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
