Patient's question:
Today, a two-year-old baby accidentally got scalded by boiling water on his face. How can we reduce the possibility of scarring? He is currently being treated in the hospital. There are no broken skin, just small blisters. I am overly worried. Will a child's burn leave scars?Doctor's answer:
There may be some residual pigmentation. Over time, it can gradually fade. If the treatment is normal, it will not cause infection. It should not form scars. It is recommended to go to a public hospital for examination and treatment. Treat the wound. Apply moist burn cream for treatment. Avoid spicy food stimulation. Cooperate actively with the doctor's treatment to prevent infection and promote early recovery, reducing scar formation.
