Is It Normal To Have Scars On The Back After Being Hit By A Softball?

My son says he was hit by a softball on his back. This leaves a 3 lines if deep scars on his back. The biggest is about 10cm long. Is that something you encounter before. I can t believe a softball can do that. Is there a way to minimise or remove this deep scar. Please help. Thanks

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.

It is possible if this was high energy hit and this may persist for several weeks before it subside. You should take antiscar cream based on silicone and put it 2 times daily and it may improve estetic image of scars.
