What should I do if my baby has scars on his face due to scratches?

After the baby is born, the mother definitely needs to take care of the baby in all aspects. For example, some mothers are lazy and will not cut their baby's nails at this time. As a result, the baby scratches his face, and if the wound is deep, it is easy to leave scars. So after the baby's face is scratched and left with scars, what method should be used to completely eliminate the scars?

1. Parents should not worry too much if the baby's face is scratched by nails. If the scratch is not very serious, no treatment is needed. Because the baby's skin has a strong healing ability, there will generally be no problem and it will gradually recover over time. However, sometimes improper care can lead to skin infection and even leave scars.

2. After the baby's face is scratched by nails, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected in time. Try to use normal saline solution, and do not use colored topical medicines to apply on the face. Do not pick the scab when the wound heals naturally. Do not let the wound come into contact with water before the scab forms to prevent secondary infection. Scar gel or flat skin growth factor can be used. Parents can choose aloe vera gel for the baby.

3. In order to make the scratches on the baby's skin disappear quickly, you can use local massage, rub ginger slices, or apply vitamin E or vitamin C. These are all good ways to remove scars. If the wound injures the skin and there is blood, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment to avoid inflammation of the baby's wound. Pay attention to trimming the baby's nails and cleaning the dirt inside the baby's nails.

The above introduces the issue of whether the baby will be left with scars after being scratched by nails. The baby's skin is very delicate. Once an injury occurs, it must be treated as soon as possible to prevent skin infection. If the baby's wound is not very serious, parents should not worry too much. The methods we introduced above can all help hold the baby and no scars will appear when the wound is repaired.
