Patient's question:
A ten-month-old baby's hand was scalded, with the injury on the fingertip. Usually, they are always willing to hold hands. Now, the wound has been cleaned and bandaged, with no old skin left and new tissue formed. How long does it take for new skin to grow back after bandaging? Can it be healed? What methods can be used to make the baby open their hand?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It's a pleasure to answer your question: If the necrotic skin has already fallen off, new skin has already grown. If there is a color difference, it is due to fewer melanocytes. Based on your description, the baby's hand was burned. Clean the skin with physiological saline and apply recombinant human epidermal growth factor solution or gel externally to promote tissue healing. Since new skin has grown, if there is no infection, it should heal quickly.
