Suggest Treatment For Scratches On The Forehead

Posted on Wed, 25 Oct 2017

Question: Hi, I am checking for opinion one more time for my 6 year old son when he got scratch on the forehead with the hyacinth bean plant. You stated it may take awhile for the white line to blend in. I did not get the Tacrolimus 0.1 ointment, but I have been putting vitamin E (the Clear liquid vitamen, not the white cream vitamin E) on the white line twice a day. Do you still feel this line will go away? I attached 3 more pictures to our previous conversation. I can upload them again if you need me to. Thank you so much for everything you provided!

Brief Answer:
I think this line will go away on its own in 2-3 months

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the newly attached photographs and can appreciate the white line though it's not very prominent.
I think it will go away on its own in another 2-3 months. You can avoid tacrolimus ointment.
Although you can continue applying vitamin E on this line.
