Will scratching a child's face leave scars?

It is inevitable that children will make noises during their growth and development. What should you do if your child’s face is scratched? Will scratching a child’s face leave scars? This is also a topic that parents are extremely concerned about.

How to take care of scratches without leaving scars?

It is important to take proper care of your skin after it has been injured. For injuries to the epidermis and superficial dermis, if improper care methods are used, infection may occur, which would not otherwise leave scars. As for injuries deep in the dermis, improper care can make scars more severe than they otherwise would be, making subsequent repair more difficult.

So how should you take care of your skin after it is scratched? Here to tell you:

First, you need to clean it. It is best to go to a clinic or hospital and let the doctor disinfect and clean the wound. If you need to bandage it, it is best to let the doctor do it.

Secondly, keep a light and non-irritating diet during the wound healing period; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, the VC in them can effectively fight inflammation and reduce pigmentation; you can also eat more collagen-rich foods such as tendons to promote wound healing; be careful not to eat spicy and irritating foods (so as not to stimulate wound inflammation) and photosensitive foods such as coriander and celery (which can easily cause pigmentation).

In addition, pay attention to sun protection for wounds. Injured skin or skin that has just healed is very fragile and is more susceptible to melanin deposition when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, new wounds should be kept away from the sun to prevent pigmentation scars.

Will scratching a child’s face leave scars? This depends on the degree of skin damage. Generally, minor scratches will not leave scars, so parents do not need to worry too much. The skin will recover after a period of time. Children's skin recovery ability is very strong. However, children should be educated to avoid frequent scratching incidents in the future, which will affect their facial health.
