What should I do if my baby has a scar on his face?

A baby's skin is very tender and elastic, and everything in the baby's body is new, so it has strong self-repair and growth abilities. However, babies are very naughty, and if parents do not supervise them properly, the children may get hurt. If the trauma on the baby's face is greater than the self-repair ability, it will leave scars. Let's take a look at what to do if scars are left on the baby's face.

The most commonly used treatments for scars are drugs, lasers, and surgeries. However, for such a young child, if the scar does not affect local functional activities and if it is simply a cosmetic issue, conservative treatments such as drugs are generally used first. Although it is difficult to say how good the effect will be, this is the most suitable treatment for the child's current age. If it doesn't work, then consider other invasive treatments such as lasers and surgery. Of course, you can't expect too much from drugs. The goodness of drugs is what the drug dealers promote themselves. The reality is that there are some effects, but you can't expect too much.

The scars on children's faces are generally not deep and can be faded, so there is no need to worry too much. If the scars are deeper, you can use aloe vera gel as long as you are not allergic to aloe vera.

Whether obvious scars will be left after skin damage depends on each person's skin characteristics and has a certain genetic tendency. Regardless of whether scarring is likely to occur, it is recommended that you start using scar patches or gels after the wound surface has healed, in order to minimize the extent of scarring. If the scar is still severe, you can seek medical treatment such as laser treatment by a professional plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Note: Try to reduce your child's scratching of the wound as much as possible during the wound healing period.

For scar problems, it is recommended to use scar removal cream. You can use it for 2 months to see if the effect is obvious. If the medication is not helpful, it is recommended to have an in-person examination first, and then conduct specific treatment such as laser surgery after the condition is confirmed.
