How to treat a child’s facial abrasion without leaving a scar

Abrasions on a child’s face need to be treated through general measures such as cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging, as well as medication to avoid scarring. Generally, superficial skin abrasions will not leave scars in most cases after timely treatment. However, if the abrasion is serious, it can only be avoided to a certain extent, but not completely guaranteed not to leave scars. 1. General measures: usually need to use saline to wash the wound in time, or rinse under water, remove local dirt in time. Then, you need to use povidone-iodine to disinfect the wound, remembering to wipe along the edge of the wound outward. If the wound is only slightly rubbed, no bandage is needed. If the abrasion is more serious, a band-aid or non-adhesive bandage can be used to bandage it. 2. medication: for children with severe bleeding, you need to cooperate with the doctor to apply thrombin and other hemostatic drugs. Children with serious abrasions need to follow the doctor’s instructions to apply antibiotics, such as erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment and so on. In most cases, superficial skin abrasions will not leave scars if they are treated promptly with the above measures. However, if the abrasion is severe, the above measures will only prevent scarring to a certain extent. All in all, when your child has an abrasion on the face, you need to treat it promptly and go to the hospital if necessary.
