Question
Will a child’s facial injury leave a scar? How long is the recovery period? Do you need to undergo laser treatment? What are the available treatment products currently?
Answer
If a child’s facial injury only affects the epidermis, it usually does not leave a scar. Red marks will gradually return to normal after some time. If the dermis is injured, scarring may occur. Based on your description, if the wound has already scabbed over after 7 days, under normal circumstances of an epidermal injury, there will be no scar left. However, if the dermis is affected, scarring may occur. I hope this advice is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
