Will stitches on a child's forehead leave scars?

When a child's forehead is hit by a sharp object while playing, a wound will appear. The child needs to go to the hospital for stitches in time. After stitching treatment, from the perspective of stitching, generally no scars will be left. The scar refers to the location of the wound. We perform stitching treatment to reduce the formation of scars. Of course, if the forehead scar improves but does leave an ugly scar, you can undergo scar removal treatment when you are completely healed. For example, laser scar removal is very effective. Of course, when suffering from trauma, you should pay attention to skin cleanliness to minimize scar proliferation.

1. Pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene.

When a burn wound is just healing, there is still a small amount of secretion and scab, which makes it easy for bacteria to multiply quickly. In addition, the epidermis is thin and tender, and its structure and function are not perfect, making it easy for infection and ulceration to occur. During this period, you can use a neutral detergent to clean it, and then use anti-scar drugs and other treatments after cleaning.

2. Avoid excessive friction and excessive activity.

Due to the imperfect structure and function of the scar epidermis, the epidermis is more susceptible to damage, and some inappropriate treatments may aggravate the damage. When applying anti-scar drugs, you should avoid massaging with excessive force or for too long, as this will cause the epidermis to separate from the fibrous plate layer and form blisters or blood blisters. Excessive movement of the joints will also cause the epidermis to loosen and separate, resulting in blisters.

3. Massage scar removal

The reason why massage can remove scars is that moderate massage can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge muscles and bones. It is beneficial to many aspects of the body, including scars. Since scars are caused by the uneven growth of new tissue, massage can effectively restore the vitality of local tissue, promote the regeneration of new skin, and restore the scar to the same color as the surrounding skin. Therefore, massage is a good choice. It is simple, easy, free of charge, and has good results. Specific operation method: Gently rub the scar at the base of your palm, 3 times a day, each time for about 10 minutes.

4. Ginger slices to remove scars

Slice fresh ginger, then gently rub the scar with the ginger slices. Finally, apply the ginger slices on the scar area for a while, then remove and replace it with a new piece. Repeat this two or three times. The key to this method is persistence. You can do this once or twice a day, and over time the small scars will disappear. Because ginger has the effect of inhibiting the growth of granulation tissue, thereby weakening scar formation and growth.
