Question
The child fell one week ago and sustained a forehead bruise, which has now formed a scab. I am consulting about the possibility of scarring and suggestions for medication use.
Answer
Based on observation, the forehead bruise caused by the 7-year-old child’s fall should not leave a scar. It is recommended to quickly disinfect the wound, keep it clean and dry, and avoid water to prevent infection. Do not pick at the scab with your fingers. In terms of diet, consume more fruits and vegetables and avoid spicy or irritating foods. After the scab naturally falls off, you can use aloe vera gel to help with skin repair. Wishing for a quick recovery and a healthy lifestyle.
