Suggest Cream To Reduce Scars On Face Of A Child

my son is 4 years old, he had atopic eczema at the age of 18 months old (only on the face) and because of a wrong prescription/treatment, he has a scar on his face (similar to an acne scar/hole).

He's doing very well now, healthy and does not take any medicines.

The dermatologist suggested a feeling once the scar starts disturbing my son, since now he's still a child and does not pay attention to it.

Can I use a cream to reduce the scar? if so, what would you suggest?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi...Mederma cream is supposed to reduce the Scars formed due to any reason like pimples or eczema or injury. I suggest you use this cream and see results after 4 to 6 weeks.
