Patient's question:
The child is five years old. They accidentally got scalded by boiling water. It's the third day, and they have applied medicine. Will it leave a scar?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, whether scarring occurs is mainly related to the child's constitution. If the baby has a tendency to scar, they may leave scars. When the child is eating, it is important to prevent food from sticking to the wound. They should be disinfected daily and apply a burn ointment every four hours. They should also pay attention to sun protection to prevent hyperpigmentation and undergo regular checks. It is recommended not to worry, as long as it does not affect the child's daily life, close parental supervision is needed for children around 3 years old.
