How Long Does Scar On Nose Of Toddler Take To Heal?
I accidentally scraped my 16 month old daughters nose with my fingernail 4 weeks ago. It never bled but scabbed over, i kept it moist with a silicone water based product and sunscreen since that day... i apply sunscreen every day also. She is olive skinned. I am concerned that the skin there is pinker and whiter than the other skin and very slightly indented. It was so superficial i never thought it would scar and worried it might not go back perfect as it was. the very top layer is not grown back on it as yet and i am praying it will. Do you think she will heal completely without a scar i am so upset about it. I apply bio oil every night.
Hello. Welcome to HCM. Yes she will heal don't worry. She is growing and her skin will grow too. I think there is no need to apply so much oil or creams. The skin has an self-healing factor and over time the scar will not be there anymore. Don't worry
