Question
What should I do if there are small white dots on the wound after my child’s facial scratch has healed?
Answer
Based on your description, the child might be in the stage of wound repair. Typically, as metabolism progresses, the wound should gradually return to normal, and you should not worry too much. It is important to avoid scratching the wound and to use iodine solution for disinfection every day. In the coming days, be mindful not to let your child scratch the wound with their hands. After a few days, observe whether the white dots disappear. If the white dots still persist, pay more attention and consider taking your child to see a doctor for consultation.
