Patient's question:
My child was injured in a car accident, and their neck was cut by glass with two deep wounds, each about 7 cm long. The doctor said the wounds were just a few millimeters away from a major artery. In addition to the cuts above the right eye and behind the right ear, they received about 20 stitches. How much will it cost to remove the scars and undergo plastic surgery for this wound in the future?Doctor's answer:
From your description, considering the impact of external force causing local injury, it is related to the recurrence of cracked skin. Currently, it is recommended to maintain local cleanliness and dryness, while using anti-inflammatory medications such as tetracycline ointment, and taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin capsules to prevent inflammation from spreading. After full recovery, cold compresses and massage can be applied to promote the softening of scar. Generally, there is no particularly effective method for removing scars.
