Patient's question:
The baby is sitting in my arms and accidentally got scratched on the back of its head by the decorative flowers on my clothes. The decorative flowers on my clothes are made of small circles of hard plastic pieces combined together to form a letter-shaped pattern. They feel very hard and can easily cut the skin. The area where the baby's head was scratched is red and has a slight peeling.Could this interfere with the baby's intellectual and physical development, and brain development? I am very worried. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Don't worry; the baby's back of the head was slightly scratched, with redness and a bit of peeling, which is a mild skin abrasion and does not interfere with the brain (as it is protected by the skull). Therefore, it will not affect the baby's intellectual development. To take good care of the little one, you need to be proactive in anticipating small accidents to prevent them from happening again. Wishing your baby healthy and happy growth! The above advice is for the question "My baby's back of the head was scratched a few times by the decorative flowers on my clothes." I hope it helps you. Wishing you well!
